I saw the man my friend ... wants pardoned, Thomas Flinton. He is a bright, good-looking fellow.... Of his innocence all are confi...dent. The governor strikes me as a man seeking popularity, who lacks the independence and manhood to do right at the risk of losing popularity. Afraid of what will be said. He is prejudiced against the Irish and Democrats.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if ...anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well...LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Sir Walter, being strangely surprised and put out of his countenance at so great a table, gives his son a damned blow over the fac...e. His son, as rude as he was, would not strike his father, but strikes over the face the gentleman that sat next to him and said "Box about: 'twill come to my father anon."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
A man needs no arguments to make him discern and approve what is beautiful: it strikes at first sight, and attracts without a reas...on. And as this beauty is found in the shape and form of corporeal things, so also is there analogous to it a beauty of another kind, an order, a symmetry, and comeliness in the moral world. And as the eye perceiveth the one, so the mind doth by a certain interior sense perceive the other, which sense, talent, or faculty, is ever quickest and purest in the noblest minds.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

There was a sound of revelry by night, And Belgium's capital had gathered then... Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men; A thousand hearts beat happily; and when Music arose with its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage-bell; But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The strikes have been put down by force; but now for the real remedy. Can't something [be] done by education of the strikers, by j...udicious control of the capitalists, by wise general policy to end or diminish the evil? The railroad strikers, as a rule, are good men, sober, intelligent, and industrious. The mischiefs are:-- 1. Strikers prevent men willing to work from doing so. 2. They seize and hold the property of their employers. 3. The consequent excitement furnishes an opportunity for the dangerous criminal classes to destroy life and property.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Nothing is so beautiful as spring-- When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;... Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Around, the night drops swiftly down Its veils; does not condemn... Or praise the different actions done. The hour that strikes across the town Caresses all and injures none As sleep approaches them.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Pan's Syrinx was a girl indeed, Though now she's turned into a reed;... From that dear reed Pan's pipe does come, A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb; Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
