Página 367 - I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Página 59 - Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
Página 7 - ... memorable one. Let me say I associate myself with the universal pride of our country in your glory, and in its hope that for many and many a year we may have your very self among us — secure that your poetry will be a wonder and delight to all those appointed to come after; and for my own part let me further say, I have loved you dearly. May God bless you and yours!
Página 70 - Eyes, calm beside thee, (Lady could'st thou know !) May turn away thick with fast-gathering tears : I glance not where all gaze : thrilling and low Their passionate praises reach thee — my cheek wears Alone no wonder when thou passest by ; Thy tremulous lids bent and suffused reply To the irrepressible homage which doth glow On every lip but mine : if in thine ears Their accents linger — and thou dost recall Me as I stood, still, guarded, very pale, Beside each votarist whose lighted brow Wore...
