Página 261 - WE are told to look through Nature Upward unto Nature's God; We are told there is a Scripture Written on the meanest sod; That the simplest flower created Is a key to hidden things; But, immortal over Nature, Mind, the lord of nature, springs...
Página 14 - tis of the soul The noblest element, the spirit-bond That links the angel with humanity. As well might' st thou attempt to purchase heaven, To vend the stars, make traffic of the skies, Or measure out what is immeasurable, As count each feeling in the pulse of love...
