My advice is to take the money and get away.
Página 447 - What dark new quest has tempted him once more To leave us ? Vainly, standing by the shore, We strain our eyes. But patience ! When the soft Spring gales are blowing over Cedarcroft, Whitening the hawthorn ; when the violets bloom Along the Brandywine, and overhead The sky is blue as Italy's, he will come...
Página 121 - We think there was no disappointment with his lectures. Those who knew his books found the author in the lecturer. Those who did not know his books were charmed in the lecturer by what is charming in the author — the unaffected humanity, the tenderness, the sweetness, the genial play of fancy, and the sad touch of truth, with that glancing stroke of satire which, lightning-like, illumines while it withers. The lectures were even more delightful than the books, because...
