หน้า 97 - Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
หน้า 73 - And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians ; and there was a great cry in Egypt ; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
หน้า 216 - Sleep, sleep—lull'd on my breast, Tossing and troubled, and thinking of me. Hush, my love, hush; with petals that close, Bowing and bending their heads to the lea, Fainteth the lily, and fadeth the rose, Sighing and sad for desire of the bee. Hush, hush; drooping like those, Weary of waking and watching for me. Peace, my love, peace ; falleth the night, Veiling in shadows her glory for thee; Eyes may be darken'd, while visions are bright, Senses be fettered, though fancy is free. Peace, peace;...
หน้า 4 - Man's intellect felt elevated and purified by scientific communion with the book of Fate as written on the luminous pages of the sky, while his soul seemed scarce debased by an adoration that lifted it at least to the visible and material heaven. On the wide-stretching plains of Western Asia, in the warm cloudless Assyrian night, with the lamps of heaven flashing out their radiance in uninterrupted splendour from the centre to the boundless horizon, it was no wonder that students and sages should...
หน้า 107 - I believe it," she murmured gently. "Such an affection as ours is written in the stars, and kindles into flame at the first meeting of those who are destined for each other. It seems but yesterday that my lord burst on my sight like Shamash, god of day, rising in splendour on the camp, and I turned my head away to bury my blushing face in my hands, because — because, already I loved him only too well.
หน้า 158 - Work, my brother, rest is nigh — Pharaoh lives for ever ! Beast and bird of earth and sky, Things that creep and things that fly — All must labour, all must die ; But Pharaoh lives for ever...
หน้า 196 - You may believe, my friend, that I turned my head more than once, thinking I might be taking my last look of beautiful Babylon. To beard Pharaoh on his throne with a handful even of the bravest horsemen in Assyria seemed an action savouring little of wisdom or common prudence; but, as the old king used to swear, Nisroch strikes with him who trusts his own right hand. So, when I did find myself in Pharaoh's presence, I spoke out as if the hosts of Assyria stood in array a bowshot from my back. Small...
หน้า 154 - Somewhat removed from the bounteous river, on the rise and fall of which depended their fertility and even their existence, the adjacent fields were irrigated with all the skill that science and experience could suggest. Their surface — moistened judiciously by canals, ditches, and water-furrows — was alive with a thousand husbandmen. Hoes were plying, buckets swinging, shrill voices rose on the serene air, and lean arms gesticulated with a vehemence ill-proportioned to the amount of labour accomplished...
หน้า 159 - Sarchedon, inured to the toils of war, longed for any catastrophe, however dangerous, that might release him from the insupportable hardships of his task. The sand became softer, the men more fatigued, the ponderous image rocked, wavered, and stood still. In terror of the lash, a simultaneous effort was made, a cable snapped, and some score of Israelites were hurled panting to the earth. Amongst them fell the younger son of Sadoc, a weakly stripling, whose labour Sarchedon, working between him and...
หน้า 185 - Man is but a vain thing,' he answered sententiously—' a strained shaft, a riven harness, a broken bow! But the king's hand stretches far and wide. He giveth or taketh away, setteth up or casteth down, and Pharaoh lives for ever !' The last four words he spoke in a loud voice, falling immediately on his face ; for they were entering the royal banquet-hall, at the extremity of which the king sat in person, under a canopy of state, attended only by his cup-bearer 'and the official who carried his...
