Page 337 - O strong soul, by what shore Tarriest thou now? For that force, Surely, has not been left vain! Somewhere, surely, afar, In the sounding labour-house vast Of being, is practised that strength, Zealous, beneficent, firm!
Page 87 - My Lord, when I lost the freedom of my cell, which was my college, yet I found some degree of it in my quiet country parsonage : but I am weary of the noise and oppositions of this place; and indeed God and nature did not intend me for contentions, but for study and quietness.
