Page 39 - In his wavering parachute. .. -But the Kitten, how she starts, Crouches, stretches, paws, and darts ! First at one, and then its fellow Just as light and just as yellow ; There are many now — now one — Now they stop ; and there are none — What intenseness of desire In her upward eye of fire ! With a tiger-leap...
Page 101 - Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper ? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in hia strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage...

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him : for they know his voice.

Page 61 - And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? and what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears, And watered heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see?
Page 40 - Quick as he in feats of art, Far beyond in joy of heart.
