Σελίδα 317 - God is great. I bear witness that there is no God but God. I bear witness that there is no God but God.
Σελίδα 245 - For, oh, if there be an elysium on earth, It is this, it is this ! There's a bliss beyond all that the minstrel has told, When two, that are link'd in one heavenly tie, With heart never changing and brow never cold, Love on through all ills, and love on till they die ; One hour of a passion so sacred is worth Whole ages of heartless and wandering bliss : And oh...
Σελίδα 159 - ... and when he had guests, went round himself to pour water on their hands, and ate from the same bowl with them. He had a donkey of no price, which he would ride without a saddle through the streets of Bokhara, and the common people, charmed by this show of humility, thought that there never had been so single-hearted a man ; but many stories which are related of him show how much worldly sagacity lay under his assumed simplicity.
Σελίδα 9 - We had two rather laborious days' journey over the snow in the Caucasus ; our carriages however were not much injured. On our route we met a troop of horse artillery coming from the war, the soldiers attached to which seemed to make light of every difficulty, assisting the horses where the road was heavy, and occasionally unharnessing them, while with ropes they drew or lowered the guns up and down the slippery steeps.

Σελίδα 407 - Khan, who engrossed much of the conversation, among other things, told the company that no fort could hold out against this people, for that they never stopped at a ditch, marching soldiers into it until it was filled, and so on over their heads to the storm ; and our host, whom I had credited for better sense, said...
Σελίδα 414 - With Engravings. Price 6s. neatly bound. " Without exception, the most animated, graphic, and life-like picture of maritime adventure that has ever yet been drawn. Even Smollett, replete with nature, observation, and genuine humour, as his sea-sketches are, must yield in point of real interest to the work before us. It is at once a book of maritime travels, a novel, an autobiography, and a romance.
Σελίδα 160 - By your condescension and favour." — " I am concerned to see you, born a gentleman, toiling in an occupation that is beneath you : rather abandon this profession, and come live in the town as becomes a man of your "birth : fear not to write to your friends all that goes on here ; God be thanked, our actions are not such as we are ashamed should be known ; but what you do write, write truly, and send it openly and worthily.
Σελίδα 147 - ... men, women, and children. Among the women, a very pretty one, as I took her hand, kissed me on the cheek. I returned the salute on the lip, and kissed every woman that followed, at which some made faces, but none refused. We returned to the boat, and continued all day our progress through the canal, at the rate of about two miles and a half an hour.
