'Tis a secret: none knows how it comes, how it goes:
But the name of the secret is Love!
Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893)
I wasn't asleep! said Bruno, in a deeply-injured tone. "When I shuts mine eyes, it's to show that I'm awake!"
Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893)
Say, whence is the voice that, when anger is burning,
Bids the whirl of the tempest to cease?
That stirs the vexed soul with an aching — a yearning
For the brotherly hand-grip of peace?
Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893)
Say, what is the spell, when her fledgelings are cheeping,
That lures the bird home to her nest?
Or wakes the tired mother, whose infant is weeping,
To cuddle and croon it to rest?
Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893)
God has given to Man an absolute right to take the lives of other animals, for any reasonable cause, such as the supply of food; but He has not given to Man the right to inflict pain, unless where necessary.
Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893)
