第 225 頁 - I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travellers I have spoken concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to.

第 255 頁 - And remember, this is not poetry, but rigid mechanical truth. He rears, as I have said, the whole vegetable world, and through it the animal : the lilies of the field are his workmanship, the verdure of the meadows, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
