Página 53 - Countrymen, My heart doth joy that yet, in all my life, I found no man but he was true to me. I shall have glory by this losing day, More than Octavius and Mark Antony By this vile conquest shall attain unto. So fare you well at once; for Brutus...
Página 52 - You are my true and honourable wife, As dear to me as are the ruddy drops That visit my sad heart.
Página 42 - I meant the day-star should not brighter rise, Nor lend like influence from his lucent seat. I meant she should be courteous, facile, sweet, Hating that solemn vice of greatness, pride ; I meant each softest virtue there should meet, Fit in that softer bosom to reside. Only a learned and a manly soul I purposed her, that should, with even powers, The rock, the spindle, and the shears control Of destiny, and spin her own free hours.
Página 327 - That hangs his head, and a' that ; The coward slave — we pass him by ! We dare be poor for a' that! For a' that, and a' that, Our toils obscure, and a' that ! The rank is but the Guinea's stamp; The Man 's the gowd for a
Página 424 - It comforts me in this one thought to dwell, That I subdued me to my father's will; Because the kiss he gave me, ere I fell, Sweetens the spirit still. 'Moreover it is written that my race Hew'd Ammon, hip and thigh, from Aroer On Arnon unto Minneth.' Here her face Glow'd, as I look'd at her. She lock'd her lips: she left me where I stood: 'Glory to God,' she sang, and past afar, Thridding the sombre boskage of the wood, Toward the morning-star.
Página 234 - TO GEORGE SAND. A RECOGNITION. TRUE genius, but true woman ! dost deny The woman's nature with a manly scorn, And break away the gauds and armlets worn By weaker women in captivity ? Ah, vain denial ! that revolted cry Is sobbed in by a woman's voice forlorn, — Thy woman's hair, my sister, all unshorn Floats back dishevelled strength in agony, Disproving thy man's name : and while before The world thou burnest in a poet-fire, 10 We see thy woman-heart beat evermore Through the large flame.
Página 177 - Woman, self-centered, would never be absorbed by any relation; it would be only an experience to her as to man. It is a vulgar error that love, a love to woman is her whole existence; she also is born for Truth and Love in their universal energy. Would she but assume her inheritance, Mary would not be the only virgin mother.
Página 417 - If Paris be enamored of his bride, His Helen, what concerns it me? and how Comes he to my destruction? Look upon me; Give me a smile, give me a kiss, my father; That if my words persuade thee not, in death I may have this memorial of thy love." Never have the names of father and daughter been uttered with a holier tenderness than by Euripides, as in this most lovely passage, or in the "Supplicants," after the voluntary death of Evadne; Iphis says "What shall this wretch now do?
Página 116 - History jeers at the attempts of physiologists to bind great original laws by the forms which flow from them. They make a rule ; they say from observation, what can and cannot be. In vain ! Nature provides exceptions to every rule. She sends women to battle, and sets Hercules spinning; she enables women to bear immense burdens, cold, and frost ; she enables the man, who feels maternal love, to nourish his infant like a mother. Of late she plays still gayer pranks. Not only she deprives organizations,...

And it will do so if this land carry out the principles from which sprang our national life. I believe that, at present, women are the best helpers of one another.
