Pagina 85 - Oh, think not of these ; think of HIM whom thou worshippest, the Crucified, — who also treading the wine-press alone, fronted sorrow still deeper ; and triumphed over it, and made it holy ; and built of it a " Sanctuary of Sorrow," for thee and all the wretched ! Thy path of thorns is nigh endud.
Pagina 3 - The Age of Romance has not ceased; it never ceases; it does not, if we will think of it, so much as very sensibly decline. " The passions are repressed by social forms; great passions no longer show themselves?

Mean weeds, which her own hand has mended, attire the Queen of the world.
