Side 194 - Straight toward heaven my wondering eyes I turn'd, And gazed awhile the ample sky ; till, raised By quick instinctive motion, up I sprung, As thitherward endeavouring, and upright Stood on my feet : about me round I saw Hill, dale, and shady woods, and sunny plains, And liquid lapse of murmuring streams ; by these, Creatures that lived and moved, and walk'd or flew ; Birds on the branches warbling ; all things smiled ; With fragrance and with joy my heart o'erflow'd.
Side 194 - With supple joints, as lively vigor led : But who I was, or where, or from what cause, Knew not. To speak I tried, and forthwith spake ; My tongue obeyed, and readily could name Whate'er I saw.
Side 194 - Thou sun, said I, fair light, And thou enlighten'd earth, so fresh and gay, Ye hills and dales, ye rivers, woods, and plains, And ye that live and move, fair creatures, tell, Tell, if ye saw, how came I thus, how here?
Side 130 - Now supposing those stockings of Sir John's endued with some degree of consciousness at every particular darning, they would have been sensible that they were the same individual pair of stockings both before and after the darning ; and this sensation would have continued in them through all the succession of darnings ; and yet, after the last of all, there was not perhaps one thread left of the first pair of stockings, but they were grown to be silk stockings, as was said before.
Side 194 - For man to tell how human life began Is hard ; for who himself beginning knew ? Desire with thee still longer to converge Induced me. As new waked from soundest sleep Soft on the flow'ry herb I found me laid, In balmy sweat, which with his beams the sun Soon dried, and on the reeking moisture fed. Straight toward...
Side 201 - It in one hand, and placing the finger of the other on the pulse at the wrist, I satisfied myself that it was indeed the heart which I grasped. I then brought him to the king that he might behold and touch so extraordinary a thing, and that he might perceive, as I did, that unless when we touched the outer skin, or when...
Side 130 - ... continued in them through all the succession of darnings : and yet after the last of all, there was not perhaps one thread left of the first pair of stockings, but they were grown to be silk stockings, as was said before. And whereas it is affirmed, that every animal is conscious of some individual, self-moving, self-determining principle; it is answered, that, as in a House of Commons all things are determined by a Majority, so it is in every Animal system. As that which determines the House...
Side 130 - They make a great noise about this Individuality : how a man is conscious to himself that he is the same Individual he was twenty years ago ; notwithstanding the flux state of the Particles of matter that compose his body. We think this is capable of a very plain answer, and may be easily illustrated by a familiar example. Sir John Cutler had a pair of black worsted stockings, which his maid darned so often with silk, that they became at last a pair of silk stockings. Now supposing those stockings...
Side 200 - I had paid my respects to this young nobleman and conveyed to him the King's request, he made no concealment, but exposed the left side of his breast when I saw a cavity into which I could introduce my fingers and thumb. Astonished with the novelty, again and again I explored the wound and first marvelling at the extraordinary nature of the cure, I set about the examination of the heart. Taking it in one hand and placing the finger of the other on the pulse of the wrist, I satisfied myself that it...
