Page 83 - But these evils are as real, as if the stone did cry out of the wall, and the beam answered it — as real, as if day and night, wailings were heard in every part of the dwelling — and blood and skeletons were seen upon every wall — as real, as if the ghostly forms of departed victims, flitted about the ship as she passed...
Page 61 - Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
