Seite 101 - But love, first learned in a lady's eyes, Lives not alone immured in the brain; But, with the motion of all elements, Courses as swift as thought in every power, And gives to every power a double power, Above their functions and their offices.
Seite 53 - I made them lay their hands in mine and swear To reverence the King, as if he were Their conscience, and their conscience as their King...
