Page 275 - The road it is rough and the hearse has no springs ; And hark to the dirge which the sad driver sings : Rattle his bones over the stones ! He's only a pauper, whom nobody owns...
Page 238 - No man is born into the world, whose work Is not born with him ; there is always work, And tools to work withal, for those who will; And blessed are the horny hands of toil I The busy world shoves angrily aside The man who stands with arms akimbo set.
Page 19 - The condition of England, on which many pamphlets are now in the course of publication, and many thoughts unpublished are going on in every reflective head, is justly regarded as one of the most ominous, and withal one of the strangest, ever seen in this world.
