Страница 282 - ... particles in the recipe would be exhausted ; in 'short, to speak metaphorically, that the chickens would at last be boiled to rags, or that the fire would go out for want of coals ; but the oftener one reflects on these sort of subjects, the oftener is the old-fashioned observation forced upon the mind, that let a man go where he will, Omnipotence is never from his view.
Страница 39 - But the whole equipment is so unsightly — the rope harness is so rude — the horses without blinkers look so wild — there is so much bluster and noise in the...
