Seite 287 - Below, at the foot of that precipice drear, Spread the gloomy, and purple, and pathless obscure ! A silence of horror that slept on the ear, That the eye more appalled might the horror endure ! Salamander — snake — dragon — vast reptiles that dwell In the deep — coiled about the grim jaws of their hell.
Seite 366 - I have given suck, and know How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this.
Seite 367 - One cried, God bless us! and, Amen, the other; As they had seen me with these hangman's hands. Listening their fear, I could not say, Amen, When they did say, God bless us.
