Seite 242 - There is no antidote against the opium of time, which temporally considereth all things ; our fathers find their graves in our short memories, and sadly tell us how we may be buried in our survivors. Gravestones tell truth scarce forty years : generations pass while some trees stand, and old families last not three oaks.

All perished ! — I alone am left on earth ! To whom nor relative nor blood remains, No ! — not a kindred drop that runs in human veins t XVIII.
Seite 96 - Tis true he shrank from men, even of his nation: When they built up unto his darling trees. He moved some hundred miles off, for a station Where there were fewer houses and more ease.

Seite 390 - The premonitory symptoms of despotism are upon us ; and if Congress do not apply an instantaneous and effective remedy, the fatal collapse will soon come on, and we shall die — ignobly die ! base, mean, and abject slaves' — the scorn and contempt of mankind — unpitied, unwept, unmourned ! ON THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
Seite 387 - WE are in the midst of a revolution, hitherto bloodless, but rapidly tending towards a total change of the pure republican character of the government, and to the concentration of all power in the hands of one man.
Seite 241 - WILD was the day ; the wintry sea Moaned sadly on New England's strand, When first the thoughtful and the free, Our fathers, trod the desert land. They little thought how pure a light, With years, should gather round that day ; How love should keep their memories bright, How wide a realm their sons should sway. Green are their bays ; but greener still Shall round their spreading fame be wreathed, And regions, now untrod, shall thrill With reverence when their names are breathed.
