To blast the air, but ambergris and gums
This, that, and ev'ry thicket doth transpire,

Where ev'ry tree a wealthy issue bears
Of fragrant apples, blushing plums, or pears;
And all the shrubs, with

Supposing a statesman were to bring his people into the position
of being obliged henceforth to practise 'high politics,' for which they
were by nature badly endowed and prepared, so that they would have
to sacrifice their old and reliable virtues, out of love to a new and
doubtful mediocrity;--supposing a statesman were to condemn his people
generally to 'practise politics,' when they have hitherto had something
better to do and think about, and when in the depths of their souls
they have been unable to free themselves from a prudent loathing of
the restlessness, emptiness, and noisy wranglings of the essentially
politics-practising nations;--supposing such a statesman were to
stimulate the slumbering passions and avidities of his people, were to
make a stigma out of their former diffidence and delight in aloofness,
an offence out of their
exoticism
and hidden permanency, were to
depreciate their most radical proclivities, subvert their consciences,
make their minds narrow, and their tastes 'national'--what!

‘Twelve weeks and five days,’ she said ‘Twelve weeks is near enough No

She counted out five dingy pound notes and two ten-shilling notes; then,
examining one of the notes and apparently finding it too clean, she put it back
into her purse and fished out another that had been torn in half She went to
the dresser, got a piece of transparent sticky paper and carefully stuck the two
halves together Then she handed it, together with the other six, to Dorothy
‘There you are, Miss Millborough,’ she said ‘And now, will you just leave
the house at once, pleased I shan’t be wanting you any longer ’
‘You won’t be-’

of which, _Venice Preserved_, is surpassed in the modern world only by
Shakespeare.

Kings, think of the woman's body you love best
How the beloved lines twin and merge,
Go into rhyme and differ, swerve and kiss,
Relent to hollows or like yearning pout,--
Curves that come to
wondrous
doubt
Or smooth into simplicities;
Like a skill of married tunes
Curdled out of the air;
How it is all sung delivering magic
To your pent hamper'd souls!

Do not say
"I love her for her smile--her look--her way
Of speaking gently,--for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of
pleasant
ease on such a day"--
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so.
