Pagina 262 - My good blade carves the casques of men, My tough lance thrusteth sure, My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure.
Pagina 288 - And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full...

The text books tell us that an element is ' a body which has not been decomposed ;' that it is ' a something to which we can add, but from which we can take nothing,' or ' a body which increases in weight with every chemical change.
