83. oldal - The little piece of sky spanning those measureless piers is full of stars, although it is mid-day. It is almost five hundred feet from where they stand, up those perpendicular bulwarks of limestone to the...
62. oldal - We came very near expressing interest, sometimes — even admiration — it was very hard to keep from it. We succeeded, though. Nobody else ever did, in the Vatican museums. The guide was bewildered— nonplussed. He walked his legs off, nearly, hunting up extraordinary things, and exhausted all his ingenuity on us, but it was a failure ; we never showed any interest in anything.
86. oldal - At the last flint gash he makes, his knife — his faithful knife — falls from his little nerveless hand, and, ringing along the precipice, falls at his mother's feet. An involuntary groan of despair runs like a death-knell through the channel below, and all is still as the grave.

He danced about us and tapped the parchment with his finger: "What I tell you, genteelmen! Is it not so? See! hand-writing Christopher Colombo!— write it himself!
86. oldal - Paul Revere was a rider bold — Well has his valorous deed been told; Sheridan's ride was a glorious one — Often it has been dwelt upon; But why should men do all the deeds On which the love of a patriot feeds? Hearken to me, while I reveal The dashing ride of Jennie M'Neal.
87. oldal - M'Neal. One night, when the sun had crept to bed And rain-clouds lingered overhead, And sent their surly drops for proof To drum a tune on the cottage roof, Close after a knock at the outer door There entered a dozen dragoons or more.
