He approached the temple.
As he went forward the light retired, and, when he put his feet within the
apartment, utterly vanished. The suddenness of this transition increased the
darkness that succeeded in a tenfold degree. Fear and wonder rendered him
powerless. An occurrence like this, in a place assigned to devotion, was
adapted to intimidate the stoutest heart. ---(from Wieland by Charles Brockden
Brown)
In good health, the air is
a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at
twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of
special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the
brink of fear. In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his
slough, and at what period so ever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is
perpetual youth.--- (from "Nature" by Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Lives of great men all
remind us
We can make our lives
sublime,
And, departing, leave
behind us Footprints on the sands of time;
(from "A Psalm of
Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Darsie was the second
daughter in a family of six, and by reason of her upsetting nature had won for
herself that privilege of priority which by all approved traditions should have
belonged to Clemence, the elder sister. ---(from A College Girl by Mrs. George
de Horne Vaizey)
