Excerpt from Appreciations and Historical Addresses Few men in any walk of life have ever so deeply impressed an entire community with the power of a noble personality as the lamented servant of God whose virtues and labors we commemorate to-day. Certainly no minister of the gospel in all the history of this ancient commonwealth was ever accorded a position so eminent by the public at large. This popular estimate was deliberate and exact. The people knew him. For more than fifty years, through storm and sunshine, in war and peace, they had studied his character and watched his work, and they have rendered their verdict: that Moses D. Hoge was a man; a strong, wise, high-minded, great-hearted, heroic man; that through all these years of stress and toil and publicity he wore the white flower of a blameless life; and that he preached the gospel of the grace of God with a dignity and authority and tenderness, with a beauty and pathos and power which have rarely, if ever, been surpassed in the annals of the American pulpit. Long before the close of his consecrated career he had taken his place in public interest even by the side of those stately memorials of this historic city which men have come from the ends of the earth to see - the bronze and marble reminders of the men who have forever associated the name of Virginia with eloquence and virtue and valor.

Excerpt from Woodrow Wilson, an Appreciation: Address Delivered Before the Literary Societies of Antioch State High School ER books, in whatever age or language they may have been composed. Woodrow Wilson has often expressed to his intimate friends, that he owed his whole success in life to those pious parents, who sacrificed for him, who urged and encouraged him to seek his education, and who instilled into his youthful heart the love of God and his fellow-man, so profoundly taught in the Book of Books. Those who knew the son during the life of his parents, speak eloquently of his filial affection for them. He was always a noble type of the dutiful son.

Excerpt from Poems and Addresses Although I feel wholly inadequate to the task assigned me, I feel that something is due you from} me in appreciation of the prescription you have just given me, which I found so easy to take.

Excerpt from Occasional Addresses, 1893-1916 The Addresses collected in this volume have been delivered on various occasions during the last twenty-five years. They deal with diverse subjects, and have only a negative connection with one another: none of them trenches upon the domain of controversial politics. Though by nature (as I believe) of a pacific temperament, I have been constrained by the force of circumstances to divide nearly the whole of my active life between two of the most contentious of professions. A man who spends most of his days and nights in the Law Courts and the House of Commons has a special need for the soothing and cleansing influences of literature and scholarship. His time for reading, still more for research, is of necessity limited; but there is nothing, even in the absorbing demands of a dual vocation, that requires him to abate his interest either in the ancient masterpieces or in the newest phases of the Arts.

Excerpt from Studies and Appreciations Exclusion of emphasis that truth may be arrived at, but by the inclusion of a variety of emphasis. Nor is this only in order that one emphasis may qualify another emphasis, but rather that one emphasis may coalesce with another emphasis, and so, truth meeting with truth, the Temple of Beauty may be seen shining in a whiteness compounded of all colours, dimly through the mists of earth.

The award-winning, New York Times bestselling literary masterpiece of Shirley Hazzard—the story of two beautiful orphan sisters whose fates are as moving and wonderful, and yet as predestined, as the transits of the planets themselves A Penguin Classic Considered "one of the great English-language novels of the twentieth century" (The Paris Review), The Transit of Venus follows Caroline and Grace Bell as they leave Australia to begin a new life in post-war England. From Sydney to London, New York, and Stockholm, and from the 1950s to the 1980s, the two sisters experience seduction and abandonment, marriage and widowhood, love and betrayal. With exquisite, breathtaking prose, Australian novelist Shirley Hazzard tells the story of the displacements and absurdities of modern life. The result is at once an intricately plotted Greek tragedy, a sweeping family saga, and a desperate love story.
