Oh, no one can be happy on earth till he has learned the worth of little things, and to attend to them! When once he has learned this, he may make each day not only happy, but find in it cause of thankfulness. But he must have peace peace both within himself and without himself; for peace is the sun in which every dewdrop of life glitters!
Ha! what glitters here? A royal diadem enriched with stones, And studded with the fleur-de-lis of France. Here, take it, Drury; lay it with the rest. KENNEDY. Oh, insolent And tyrant power, to which we must submit. PAULET. She can work ill as long as she hath treasures; For all things turn to weapons in her hands. Oh, sir! be merciful; deprive us not Of the last jewel that adorns our life!
This was what Adela sang; and the singing of it was evidently a relief to her: I dreamt of the daughter of a king, With a cheek white, wet, and chill; Under the limes we sat murmuring, And holding each other so still! "Oh! not thy father's sceptre of gold, Nor yet his shining throne, Nor his diamond crown that glitters cold 'Tis thyself I want, my own!"
His tomahawk, which hangs loosely exposed at his girdle, glitters like highly-polished silver; and the hand which ever and anon toys with the haft is long and bony. The dark, piercing eyes seem almost to transfix every one upon whom they rest. One half of the face seems to be covered by a mask, made to imitate the freshly-painted visage of a Mohawk Indian when starting out upon the war path.
"I am glad to see you all," said I; "and particularly you, madam," said I, making a bow to Mrs. Petulengro; "and you also, madam," taking off my hat to Mrs. Chikno. "Good-day to you, sir," said Mrs. Petulengro; "you look, as usual, charmingly, and speak so, too; you have not forgot your manners." "It is not all gold that glitters," said Mrs. Chikno. "However, good- morrow to you, young rye."
And so he glitters along through the world, the brightest among the bright; and when his glitter is gone, and he is gathered to his fathers, no eye will be dim with a tear, no heart will mourn for its lost friend. "And so, Mr Warden," said Sir Abraham, "all our trouble about this lawsuit is at an end." Mr Harding said he hoped so, but he didn't at all understand what Sir Abraham meant.
A thin, silvery mist from the spray of the falls floats here and there, spreading out in broad sheets over the damp earth, and gathering into filmy ropes and patches as the breeze catches it among the spruce, pine and maple trees above the edge of the falls. A short distance ahead the water glitters again where the river makes a slight turn and plunges over another precipice.
One of them was humming a song of strange rhythm, which might be thus rendered: "Glitters brightly the gold In my raven locks streaming Rich coral around My graceful neck gleaming; Like a bird of the air, Through the wide world I roam." The laughing girl continued her song, but Michael Strogoff ceased to listen.
Such is beauty! a vain show, which only glitters to disappear, and is to fools, nevertheless, the supreme object of adoration!" "Then, is Zeno's daughter fair?" asked the girl. "She is said to be," replied the other; and after a moment's pause he added: "Yes, Agatha is a rarely accomplished woman; but I know better things of her than that.
The dull optic seen glazing in the death-throes upon the market-stall, with coarse vulgar surroundings, becomes, in its native element, full of intelligence and light. In even the smaller fry the round orb glitters like a diamond star. One cannot see the fish without seeing its eye. It is positive, persistent, prevalent, the whole animate existence expressed in it.
