Pàgina 260 - If it were inquired what is to be regarded as the most appropriate intellectual occupation of MAN, as man, what would be the answer ?

Pàgina 261 - He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.
Pàgina 356 - Through the gray of the early morning, among the trellised shadows of the forest at noonday, and in the silence of my library at night she had flitted by my eyes, and I had seen her, not as the living and breathing Berenice, but as the Berenice of a dream; not...
