Your own heart must tell you that your place is serving this struggling new Faith in the days when it is still, for the most part, unrecognized by the masses.
— from The Light of Divine Guidance (Volume 2) by Effendi Shoghi
"I thought you preferred it," said the stranger excusing himself.
— from Oscar Wilde, His Life and Confessions Volume 2 by Frank Harris
For instance, an undress at present means The wearing a pelisse, a shawl, or so; Or any thing you please, in short, that screens The face, and hides the form from top to toe; Of power to brave a quizzing-glass, or storm— 'Tis worn in summer, when the weather's warm.
— from Fanny, with Other Poems by Fitz-Greene Halleck
