Now, though your Body be mis-shapen, blind, Lame, feverish, lacking substance, power or skill, Certain it is that men can school the Mind To school the sickliest Body to her Will As many have done, whose glory blazes still Like mighty fires in meanest lanterns lit Wherefore, we pray the crippled, weak and ill Be fit - be fit!

He went on shore and got some milk for him, and bought some pieces of linen; and, as he had little to do, he spent his time in making them into shirts. He also made a little bed, and filled it with soft feathers. Now, I have said before that Bill was a rough sailor. He had a hand almost as hard as flint, and a voice that sounded as rough as a tin horn. But his hard hand never was rough to the little creature that he had in charge; and his voice, when he spoke to it, was softened into kindness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Ironsides the Hero of Tripoli and and Other Tales and Adventures on Sea and Land It was during the Civil War that I first saw Charles Stewart, popularly known as 'Old Ironsides," but generally called Commodore Stewart by his neighbors. He was living at White Hill, on the outskirts of Bordenton, N. J., and made famous afterward as the residence of Mrs. Delia Parnell, his daughter-in-law. It was on a crisp winter day in mid-winter. When I presented myself at the door I was told that the commodore was at work in the barn. Going thither I found the great naval hero busily pouring corn into a sheller, the handle of which a lusty Irishman was turning. The commodore good-naturedly laid aside his implement and briskly led the way to the house, where we chatted for a couple of hours. He insisted upon my coming again, and I did so quite frequently, through summer and winter, until near his final sickness.

Download or read book Library of Universal Adventure by Sea and Land written by William Dean Howells and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 1046 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Library of Universal Adventure by Sea and Land: Including Original Narratives and Authentic Stories of Personal Prowess and Peril in All the Waters and Regions of the Globe From the Year 79 A. D. To the Year 1888 A. D A casual glance at the contents and their arrangement will give some no tion Of the variety and extent of the work. For the sake of clearness we have distributed the material geographically, and in each division we have given the narratives a chronological sequence, so that the volume is in some sort at once a map and a history, fragmentary of course, but useful, we be lieve, to any reader wishing to place in time and space the great adventurers whose names occur in the stories Of nations. It was part of the pleasure we took in our work that these adventures, which seemed so fragmentary and detached, became more and more distinctly parts of the common life Of the race; and we hope that with the help Of the plan we have adopted, with the dates and the divisions we have used, it will have the same interest for our readers. At the same time we feel that the apparently desultory succession of the narratives will contribute to the delight of those who like to vary the excitements purveyed to them, and who may read the book in sequence with the certainty of a continual change in the character of its contents, from adventure to adventure, although these follow one another in each division with due regard to the order of their occurrence in point of time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Sea Yarns In the great bure of Raiyawa there was a story-telling. The lying-places filled three sides of the house - mats spread upon grass four feet wide, - and between each lying-place was a narrow strip of bare earth sprinkled with wood-ashes, on which three logs, nose to nose, were smouldering. A thin curl of blue smoke wreathed upwards from each to the conical roof, where they met and filtered through the blackened thatch; so that from outside the bure looked like a disembowelled haystack smouldering, ready to burst into flame. On the fourth side was a low doorway, stopped with a thick fringe of dried rushes, through which ever and anon a grey-headed elder burst head-foremost, after coughing and spitting outside to announce his arrival.
