And lo! the universal air seemed lit with ghastly flame; ten thousand thousand dreadful eyes were looking down in blame Picture Quote #1

Oh, men, with sisters dear! Oh, men, with mothers and wives! It is not linen you're wearing out, but human creatures' lives! Picture Quote #1

Work! Work! Work! While the cock is crowing aloof! And work - work - work, till the stars shine through the roof! Picture Quote #1

We watched her breathing through the night, her breathing soft and low, as in her breast the wave of life kept heaving to and fro Picture Quote #1

One more unfortunate, weary of breath, rashly importunate, gone to her death! Take her up tenderly, lift her with care; fashion'd so slenderly young, and so fair! Picture Quote #1
