第 98 頁 - Now far, far behind him the green waters glide, And the cot of his forefathers blesses his eyes. The jessamine clambers in flower o'er the thatch, And the swallow chirps sweet from her nest in the wall ; All trembling with transport he raises the latch, And the voices of loved ones reply to his call.
第 50 頁 - The wonder then turns on the great process by " which a man could grow to the immense intelligence that " can know that there is no God. What ages, and what lights " are requisite for THIS attainment ! This intelligence involves " the very attributes of divinity, while a God is denied. For " unless this man is omnipresent, unless he is at this moment " in every place in the universe, he cannot know but there " may be in some place manifestations of a Deity by which " even he would be overpowered.
第 92 頁 - The changing spirits' rise and fall; We know that these were felt by him, For these are felt by all. He suffered — but his pangs are o'er; Enjoyed— but his delights are fled ; Had friends — his friends are now no more ; And foes — his foes are dead.

第 92 頁 - The clouds and sunbeams, o'er his eye That once their shades and glory threw, Have left in yonder silent sky No vestige where they flew.
第 50 頁 - ... unless he is at this moment in every place in the universe, he cannot know but there may be in some place manifestations of a Deity by which even he would be overpowered. If he does not know absolutely every agent in the universe, the one that he does not know may be God. If he is not himself the chief agent in the universe, and does not know what is so, that which is so may be God.
第 91 頁 - The changing spirits' rise and fall, We know that these were felt by him, For these are felt by all. He suffered, — but his pangs are o'er ; Enjoyed, — but his delights are fled ; Had friends, — his friends are now no more ; And foes, — his foes are dead. He...
第 50 頁 - If he is not himself the chief agent in the universe, and does not know what is so, that which is so may be God. If he is not in absolute possession of all the propositions that constitute universal truth, the one which he wants may be that there is a God.
