OWEN MEREDITH (Lord Lytton)-The
Wanderer. Bk. III. Futility. St. 6.
Unseen hands delay
The coming of what oft seems close in ken,
And, contrary, the moment, when we say
""Twill never come!" comes on us even then.

OWEN MEREDITH (Lord Lytton)-
Thomas Muntzer to Martin Luther.
L. 382.

We are but as the instrument of Heaven.
Our work is not design, but destiny.
h. OWEN MEREDITH (Lord Lytton)-
Clytemnestra. Pt. XIX.
We are what we must

And not what we would be. I know that one hour

Assures not another. The will and the power Are diverse.

Come day, come night, day comes at last. CHRISTINA G. ROSSETTI-Twilight.

Night. I. St. 1.

A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.

A man whom both the waters and the wind, In that vast tennis-court, hath made the ball For them to play upon.

q. Pericles. Act II. Sc. 1. L. 63.

Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness! This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hope; to-morrow blossoms,

And bears his blushing honours thick upon him:

The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely

His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do.

For some must watch, while some must sleep; So runs the world away.

t. Hamlet. Act III. Sc. 2. L. 284. Here burns my candle out; ay, here it dies, Which, whiles it lasted, gave King Henry light.
