Página 73 - God said, I am tired of kings, I suffer them no more; Up to my ear the morning brings The outrage of the poor. Think ye I made this ball A field of havoc and war, Where tyrants great and tyrants small Might harry the weak and poor?
Página 650 - Then the handful will shout louder. A few fair men on the other side will argue and reason against the war with speech and pen and at first will have a hearing and be applauded, but it will not last long ; those others will outshout them, and presently the anti-war audiences will thin out and lose popularity. Before long you will see this curious thing, the speakers stoned from the platform and free speech strangled by hordes of furious men who in their secret...
Página 196 - Keokuk shales, remarkable for their wealth of geodes, concretions of quartz usually about six inches through but varying in size from that of a cherry to that of a big pumpkin; these are found in all the local streams which have cut down through the limestone.
Página 650 - Before long you will see this curious thing: the speakers stoned from the platform, and free speech strangled by hordes of furious men who in their secret hearts are still at one with those stoned speakers— as earlier— but do not dare to say so.
