In 1654 he presented to Cromwell Milton's noble tract in Defence of the People of England, and, in writing to the author, says of the work, "When I consider how equally it teems and rises with so many figures, it seems to me a Trajan's column, in whose winding ascent we see embossed the several monuments of your learned victories."
"Up springs, at every step, to claim a tear, Some little friendship formed in childhood here; And not the lightest leaf but trembling teems, With golden visions and romantic dreams." Mr. Bussey's life is a remarkable illustration of the success, which results from natural ability and persevering industry.
Their greater fierceness in one part of the country than another is doubtless owing to a scarcity of fish; in fact, Captain Tuckey says, of that part of the Congo, mentioned above, "There are no fish here but catfish," and we found that the lake crocodiles, living in clear water, and with plenty of fish, scarcely ever attacked man. The Shire teems with fish of many different kinds.
The curiosity hunters were next led to the so-called House of the Sacred Swine. These porcine treasures are as tenderly cared for as was Hamlet's mother by Hamlet's father. They reside in a spacious hall of stone, but the atmosphere, it must be owned, teems with odours that are not Sabæan.
Within them lies the real Ragusa a wonderful old city which teems with interest, for its time-worn buildings and picturesque streets recall, at every turn, the faded glories of this "South Slavonic Athens." A bridge across the moat which protects the old city is the link between the present and past.
The average person, entrenched behind the bulwark of theological bias, saturated with a belief in the finality of all previous discovery and knowledge, teems with a fanatical desire to "defend his God" as if the Supreme Power, whatever name we give it were not capable of self-defense.
We shall have a magnificent autumn; the woods must be beginning to look gorgeous." "I shall know better to-morrow." "To-morrow?" "Yes; we leave for Beacham's to-morrow, you know." "No, I did not know;" an indefinable shadow over-clouded his face, but he said quickly, "That is an old hunting-ground of mine. The river teems with speckled treasures. Are you a disciple of old Walton, Mr.
The head was surmounted by a bowler, and a pair of pince-nez gleamed from the shadow. "Hullo, I say," said the stranger. "Have you changed carriages, or what?" "No," said Mike. "Then, dash it, where's my frightful bag?" Life teems with embarrassing situations. This was one of them. "The fact is," said Mike, "I chucked it out." "Chucked it out! what do you mean? When?" "At the last station."
But as long as our press teems with writings drawn with a view of irritating persons here, we shall never be able to exercise the influence which we ought to have upon this question, and which we really possess. Letter to Mr. Wilberforce, October 8, 1814. The real power in Spain is in the clergy. October 20, 1814. Les choses neuves, surtout quand elles sont compliquées, ne vont pas bien.
Its history teems with exciting incidents of plague, fire, sacking, siege, and hand-to-hand fighting, so it is quite in keeping that it should take so important a part in the present conflict.
