Страница 83 - It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
Страница 49 - When each by turns was guide to each, And Fancy light from Fancy caught, And Thought leapt out to wed with Thought ; Ere Thought could wed itself with Speech...
Страница 184 - These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
