الصفحة 334 - Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
الصفحة 327 - Into this wild abyss, The womb of nature, and perhaps her grave,* Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire, But all these in their pregnant causes mixed Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight, Unless the almighty Maker them ordain His dark materials to create more worlds...

So it pleases God; it shall therefore please me also.
الصفحة 204 - That is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the lower Mississippi River was upward of one million, three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing rod.
الصفحة 167 - OLD TIME, in whose bank we deposit our notes, Is a miser who always wants guineas for groats ; He keeps all his customers still in arrears By lending them minutes and charging them years.
الصفحة 204 - In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles.
