Page 78 - They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair; They shall find real saints to draw from — Magdalene, Peter, and Paul; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame ; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame ; But each...
Page 193 - ... this investigation has been the study of the oxidation of ammonia to nitric acid.
