123. oldal - WHAT should we know, For better or worse, Of the Long Ago, Were it not for Verse : What ships went down; What walls were razed ; Who won the crown; What lads were praised? A fallen stone, Or a waste of sands ; And all is known Of Art-less lands. But you need not delve By the sea-side hills Where the Muse herself All Time fulfils, Who cuts with his scythe All things but hers ; All but the blithe Hexameters.
197. oldal - A somewhat fair-complexioned man, a trifle below the middle-height [he was actually 5 ft. 6$ ins.] of slight build, with a pleasant thoughtful face, exceptionally broad at the temples, and fringed by a beard trimmed after the Elizabethan manner [this beard was shaved off about 1890, and he never grew another, but had always a moustache] ; a man readily sociable and genial, but one whose mien conveys the impression that the world in his eyes has rather more of the tragedy than the comedy about it.
282. oldal - The force of spirit is invincible. Gandhi said : 'The British want us to put the struggle on the plane of machine-guns. They have weapons and we have not. Our only assurance of beating them is to keep it on the plane where we have the weapons and they have not.
152. oldal - They say the Lion and the Lizard keep The Courts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep: And Bahram, that great Hunter — the Wild Ass Stamps o'er his Head, but cannot break his Sleep.
