Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years ? They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, — And that cannot stop their tears.

Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the gloves herself. Big Ben was striking as she stepped out into the street. It was eleven o'clock and the unused hour was fresh as if issued to children on a beach. But there was something solemn in the deliberate swing of the repeated strokes; something stirring in the murmur of wheels and the shuffle of footsteps. No doubt they were not all bound on errands of happiness. There is much more to be said about us than that we walk the streets of Westminster. Big Ben too is nothing but steel rods consumed by rust were it not for the care of H.M.'s Office of Works.

The German air power has been largely spent. It is behind the times and its first-rate men are mostly dead or disheartened or worn out. In 1914 the Hohenzollern army was the best in the world. Behind that screaming little defective in Berlin there is nothing of the sort... Yet our military ‘experts’ discuss the waiting phantom. In their imaginations it is perfect in its equipment and invincible in its discipline.

In una valle chiusa da colline boschive, sorridente nei colori della primavera, s‘ergevano una accanto all‘altra due grandi case disadorne, pietra e calce. Parevano fatte dalla stessa mano, e anche i giardini chiusi da siepi, posti dinanzi a ciascuna di esse, erano della stessa dimensione e forma. Chi vi abitava non aveva però lo stesso destino.

Faceva la quarta elementare. Era un grazioso fiorentino di dodici anni, nero di capelli e bianco di viso, figliuolo maggiore d’un impiegato delle strade ferrate, il quale, avendo molta famiglia e poco stipendio, viveva nelle strettezze. Suo padre lo amava assai, ed era buono e indulgente con lui: indulgente in tutto fuorchè in quello che toccava la scuola: in questo pretendeva molto e si mostrava severo perchè il figliuolo doveva mettersi in grado di ottener presto un impiego per aiutar la famiglia; e per valer presto qualche cosa gli bisognava faticar molto in poco tempo.

Piena anche per gli olivi, quell’annata. Piante massaje, cariche l’anno avanti, avevano raffermato tutte, a dispetto della nebbia che le aveva oppresse sul fiorire.

Ho letto chiaro nella natura umana come in uno specchio: la maggior parte dei nostri dolori ce li fabbrichiamo da noi: avveleniamo la festa della nostra giovinezza esagerando e complicando i piaceri dell'amore sino a farne risultare dei dolori.

Pubblicato nel 1931, San Manuel Bueno martire è un romanzo breve, ma intenso e di straordinaria bellezza, nel quale Unamuno fornisce finalmente una soluzione al problema centrale della sua filosofia—e in fondo della vita di ogni persona: il conflitto tra la ragione e la fede, tra il sentimento che suggerisce una vita immortale e la scienza che mostra la distruzione completa dell'essere umano.

La tranquillità di una cittadina di provincia, il progetto di uno zelante sottoprefetto e la vita sentimentale della signorina Adele Ruzzani, vengono messi alla prova dalla presenza dei frati laici del convento di San Bruno.

Hester Dowden, who wrote under the name Hester Travers Smith, was an Irish spiritualist medium. She claimed to have communicated with the spirits of various celebrities. In Oscar Wilde from Purgatory, she reproduces the text of her "conversations" with the Irish poet and playwright, conducted via a Ouija board and automatic writing. Wilde proves just as talkative after death as he was in life. His spirit revels in the complements paid to his work by Travers Smith and her colleagues, describes how it feels to exist without a body, and pronounces James Joyce's recently published novel Ulysses a ...

The ordering of the interviews is chronological according to when they were given rather than publication date. Wilde’s few interviews in French and Italian are excluded. For the non-English language interviews, other ...

"My Confession" is a brief autobiographical story of Leo Tolstoy's struggle with a mid-life existential crisis of melancholia. It describes his search for answers to the profound questions "What will come of my life?" and "What is the meaning of life?", without answers to which life, for him, had become "impossible." Tolstoy reflects on the arc of his philosophical life until then: his childhood abandonment of his Russian orthodox faith; his mastery of strength, will, power, and reason; and how, after he had achieved tremendous financial success and social status, life to him seemed ...

Fem Uger i Ballon: Lydbog efter spændingsroman af Jules Verne. Oversættelse efter den 23. af det franske Akademi prisbelønnede udgave. Andreas Schous Forlag, 1883. Hvis man skal sætte ord på hvad videnskaben geografi går ud på, er det at beskrive og analysere jordens overflade, dens landskaber, mennesker og dyreliv - at dykke ned i dens jordlag og at studere hvordan vindene blæser. For kun halvanden hundrede år siden var mægtige område i det indre Afrika næsten ukendt for europæerne. Man anede fra sporadiske kilder, at det vældige kontinent gemte på mystiske riger og lande, ...

Writing at the end of the American Civil War, Verne weaves this story of a Scottish merchant who, in desperation at the interruption of the flow of Southern cotton due to the Union blockade, determines to build his own fast ship and run guns to the Confederates in exchange for the cotton piling up unsold on their wharves.
