Seite 156 - In for a penny in for a pound,' is an old adage. I am so hackneyed to the touches of the painter's pencil, that I am now altogether at their beck, and sit, like Patience on a monument, -whilst they are delineating the lines of my face.
Seite 286 - If to your Starboard RED appear, It is your duty to keep clear ; To act as judgment says is proper;— To Port, or Starboard, Back, or Stop her !

Seite 546 - Water, And the nursling of the Sky; I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores; I change, but I cannot die. For after the rain when with never a stain The pavilion of Heaven is bare, And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams Build up the blue dome of air, I silently laugh at my own cenotaph, And out of the caverns of rain, Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb, I arise and unbuild it again.

And grant it, Heaven, that all who read May find as dear a nurse at need, And every child who lists my rhyme, In the bright, fireside, nursery clime, May hear it in as kind a voice As made my childish days...
Seite 443 - Government direct regulation of the agencies of interstate and foreign commerce. 1 therefore beg to suggest that Congress be requested to consider the advisability of enacting a law for the legislative regulation of interstate and foreign commerce under a license or franchise, which in general should provide as follows: (a) The granting of a Federal franchise or license to engage in interstate commerce. (b) The imposition of all necessary requirements as to corporate organization and management as...
Seite 83 - I sleep upon my art for a pillow; I waken in my art; I am unready for death, because I hate to leave it. I love my wife, I do not know how much, nor can, nor shall, unless I lost her; but while I can conceive my being widowed, I refuse the offering of life without my art.
