The lines with “those”

those 215 Back to T

  1. p. 17, line 2Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
  2. p. 21, line 26I will lift what has too long kept down those smouldering fires,
  3. p. 24, line 8A charge transmitted and gift occult for those being born.
  4. p. 24, line 11For those who belong here and those to come,
  5. p. 26, line 6Land of the pastoral plains, the grass-fields of the world! land of those sweet-air'd interminable plateaus!
  6. p. 34, line 19For me those that have been boys and that love women,
  7. p. 38, line 15I believe in those wing'd purposes,
  8. p. 41, line 18Coon-seekers go through the regions of the Red river or through those drain'd by the Tennessee, or through those of the Arkansas,
  9. p. 43, line 13Vivas to those who have fail'd!
  10. p. 43, line 14And to those whose war-vessels sank in the sea!
  11. p. 43, line 15And to those themselves who sank in the sea!
  12. p. 46, line 26Extoller of amies and those that sleep in each others' arms.
  13. p. 51, line 7Talkative young ones to those that like them, the loud laugh of work-people at their meals,
  14. p. 54, line 30I wonder where they get those tokens,
  15. p. 58, line 22I fly those flights of a fluid and swallowing soul,
  16. p. 74, line 7And I said to my spirit When we become the enfolders of those orbs, and the pleasure and knowledge of every thing in them, shall we be fill'd and satisfied then?
  17. p. 75, line 6And those well-tann'd to those that keep out of the sun.
  18. p. 75, line 26On that solemn night (it may be their last) those that know me seek me.
  19. p. 81, line 17The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
  20. p. 81, line 20Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves?
  21. p. 81, line 21And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
  22. p. 83, line 11I have perceiv'd that to be with those I like is enough,
  23. p. 86, line 5This is not only one man, this the father of those who shall be fathers in their turns,
  24. p. 88, line 17I will go stay with her who waits for me, and with those women that are warm-blooded and sufficient for me,
  25. p. 88, line 19I see that they are worthy of me, I will be the robust husband of those women.
  26. p. 93, line 15We are seas mingling, we are two of those cheerful waves rolling over each other and interwetting each other,
  27. p. 94, line 5I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men,
  28. p. 96, line 3Resolv'd to sing no songs to-day but those of manly attachment,
  29. p. 98, line 24Nor do those know me best who admire me and vauntingly praise me,
  30. p. 100, line 16Not in those long-drawn, ill-supprest sighs,
  31. p. 102, line 3I see reminiscent to-day those Greek and Germanic systems,
  32. p. 105, line 11Not those, but as I pass O Manhattan, your frequent and swift flash of eyes offering me love,
  33. p. 105, line 20We are those two natural and nonchalant persons.
  34. p. 106, line 23And it seems to me if I could know those men I should become attached to them as I do to men in my own lands,
  35. p. 107, line 12Those of the open atmosphere, coarse, sunlit, fresh, nutritious,
  36. p. 107, line 13Those that go their own gait, erect, stepping with freedom and command, leading not following,
  37. p. 107, line 14Those with a never-quell'd audacity, those with sweet and lusty flesh clear of taint,
  38. p. 107, line 15Those that look carelessly in the faces of Presidents and governors, as to say Who are you?
  39. p. 107, line 16Those of earth-born passion, simple, never constrain'd, never obedient,
  40. p. 107, line 17Those of inland America.
  41. p. 117, line 18I descend upon all those cities, and rise from them again.
  42. p. 117, line 26I see the picturesque crowds at the fairs of Khiva and those of Herat,
  43. p. 120, line 17What cities the light or warmth penetrates I penetrate those cities myself,
  44. p. 121, line 8I know they suffice for those who belong to them.
  45. p. 124, line 9Do you know the talk of those turning eye-balls?
  46. p. 124, line 16(I think they hang there winter and summer on those trees and always drop fruit as I pass;)
  47. p. 125, line 26Only those may come who come in sweet and determin'd bodies,
  48. p. 126, line 9You shall be treated to the ironical smiles and mockings of those who remain behind you,
  49. p. 126, line 11You shall not allow the hold of those who spread their reach'd hands toward you.
  50. p. 128, line 7Inside of dresses and ornaments, inside of those wash'd and trimm'd faces,
  51. p. 129, line 17The similitudes of the past and those of the future,
  52. p. 130, line 24Saw their approach, saw aboard those that were near me,
  53. p. 131, line 9I loved well those cities, loved well the stately and rapid river,
  54. p. 133, line 19Be firm, rail over the river, to support those who lean idly, yet haste with the hasting current;
  55. p. 149, line 1Welcome are lands of wheat and maize, welcome those of the grape,
  56. p. 149, line 3Welcome the cotton-lands, welcome those of the white potato and sweet potato,
  57. p. 149, line 20The voyage of those who sought a New England and found it, the outset anywhere,
  58. p. 154, line 5Served the mound-raiser on the Mississippi, served those whose relics remain in Central America,
  59. p. 154, line 8Served those who time out of mind made on the granite walls rough sketches of the sun, moon, stars, ships, ocean waves,
  60. p. 154, line 11Served before any of those the venerable and harmless men of Ethiopia,
  61. p. 154, line 12Served the making of helms for the galleys of pleasure and the making of those for war,
  62. p. 154, line 25I see those who in any land have died for the good cause,
  63. p. 158, line 12Cross out please those immensely overpaid accounts,
  64. p. 158, line 26Those ancient temples, sculptures classic, could none of them retain her?
  65. p. 159, line 5Silent the broken-lipp'd Sphynx in Egypt, silent all those century-baffling tombs,
  66. p. 163, line 22And by the spells which ye vouchsafe to those your ministers in earnest,
  67. p. 164, line 5How the ash writhes under those muscular arms!
  68. p. 176, line 2Were you thinking that those were the words, those upright lines? those curves, angles, dots?
  69. p. 176, line 3No, those are not the words, the substantial words are in the ground and sea,
  70. p. 176, line 5Were you thinking that those were the words, those delicious sounds out of your friends' mouths?
  71. p. 176, line 10Air, soil, water, fire—those are words,
  72. p. 176, line 15The workmanship of souls is by those inaudible words of the earth,
  73. p. 178, line 4Looking from no countenances of their own, but from the countenances of those who are with them,
  74. p. 179, line 9I swear there is no greatness or power that does not emulate those of the earth,
  75. p. 184, line 18By those swarms upon our rear we must never yield or falter,
  76. p. 188, line 12Was not so sick from the blood in the gutters running, nor from the single corpses, nor those in heaps, nor those borne away in the tumbrils,
  77. p. 190, line 11I charge you forever reject those who would expound me, for I cannot expound myself,
  78. p. 192, line 4With those old continents whence we have come to this new continent,
  79. p. 195, line 18I chant projected a thousand blooming cities yet in time on those groups of sea-islands,
  80. p. 197, line 1From those beginning notes of yearning and love there in the mist,
  81. p. 200, line 2Those are the shadows of leaves.
  82. p. 202, line 10Fascinated, my eyes reverting from the south, dropt, to follow those slender windrows,
  83. p. 203, line 18Touch me with your lips as I touch those I love,
  84. p. 206, line 8Those burial-clouds that lower victorious soon to devour all,
  85. p. 206, line 16They are immortal, all those stars both silvery and golden shall shine out again,
  86. p. 207, line 6Passions there, wars, pursuits, tribes, sight in those ocean-depths, breathing that thick-breathing air, as so many do,
  87. p. 209, line 3Along the midnight edge by those milk-white combs careering,
  88. p. 210, line 14For shame old maniacs—bring down those toss'd arms, and let your white hair be,
  89. p. 211, line 7The committee open the box, set up the regal ribs, glue those that will not stay,
  90. p. 212, line 14Those corpses of young men,
  91. p. 212, line 15Those martyrs that hang from the gibbets, those hearts pierc'd by the gray lead,
  92. p. 214, line 4Wonders as of those countries, the soil, trees, cities, inhabitants, whatever they may be,
  93. p. 217, line 13As I stand aloof and look there is to me something profoundly affecting in large masses of men following the lead of those who do not believe in men.
  94. p. 219, line 3Are those really Congressmen? are those the great Judges? is that the President?
  95. p. 222, line 13Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses? no sleepers must sleep in those beds,
  96. p. 227, line 7And all between those shores, and my ever running Mississippi with bends and chutes,
  97. p. 227, line 21Not houses of peace indeed are you, nor any nor all their prosperity, (if need be, you shall again have every one of those houses to destroy them,
  98. p. 227, line 22You thought not to destroy those valuable houses, standing fast, full of comfort, built with money,
  99. p. 229, line 13What, to pavements and homesteads here, what were those storms of the mountains and sea?
  100. p. 229, line 21How Democracy with desperate vengeful port strides on, shown through the dark by those flashes of lightning!
  101. p. 236, line 15Of life and death, of home and the past and loved, and of those that are far away;
  102. p. 242, line 3Of those armies so rapid so wondrous what saw you to tell us?
  103. p. 242, line 7What you ask of my days those the strangest and sudden your talking recalls,
  104. p. 247, line 3Those who love each other shall become invincible,
  105. p. 253, line 11As those slanted bayonets, whole forests of them appearing in the distance, approach and pass on, returning homeward,
  106. p. 267, line 5Through him flights, whirls, screams, answering those of the fish-hawk, mocking-bird, night-heron, and eagle,
  107. p. 271, line 14Do you hold the like love for those hardening to maturity? for the last-born? little and big? and for the errant?
  108. p. 275, line 1I am for those that have never been master'd,
  109. p. 275, line 3For those whom laws, theories, conventions, can never master.
  110. p. 275, line 4I am for those who walk abreast with the whole earth,
  111. p. 276, line 10Not to call even those lofty bards here by Ontario's shores,
  112. p. 279, line 17Ask'd room those flush'd immortal ranks, the first forth-stepping armies?
  113. p. 280, line 26Not there your victory on those red shuddering fields,
  114. p. 281, line 21Not alone on those warlike fields the Mother of All,
  115. p. 281, line 26Over the fields of the West those crawling monsters,
  116. p. 283, line 4Winter-grain sprouts and those of the light-yellow corn, and the esculent roots of the garden,
  117. p. 285, line 26Those drunkards and gluttons of so many generations?
  118. p. 286, line 18The summer growth is innocent and disdainful above all those strata of sour dead.
  119. p. 288, line 24O I know that those men and women were not for nothing, any more than we are for nothing,
  120. p. 289, line 8Are those billions of men really gone?
  121. p. 289, line 9Are those women of the old experience of the earth gone?
  122. p. 289, line 12I believe of all those men and women that fill'd the unnamed lands, every one exists this hour here or elsewhere, invisible to us,
  123. p. 289, line 14I believe that was not the end of those nations or any person of them, any more than this shall be the end of my nation, or of me;
  124. p. 289, line 18I suspect I shall there find each old particular of those unnamed lands.
  125. p. 291, line 3All that is well thought or said this day on any part of the globe, or on any of the wandering stars, or on any of the fix'd stars, by those there as we are here,
  126. p. 293, line 6One glance swept from her clear calm eyes o'er all those upturn'd faces,
  127. p. 298, line 7I specify you with joy O my comrade to salute you, and to salute those who are with you, before and since, and those to come also,
  128. p. 299, line 8I feel I am of them—I belong to those convicts and prostitutes myself,
  129. p. 300, line 6It is not in those paged fables in the libraries, (them I neither accept nor reject,)
  130. p. 300, line 15(To me all that those persons have arrived at sinks away from them, except as it results to their bodies and souls,
  131. p. 300, line 19And often to me those men and women pass unwittingly the true realities of life, and go toward false realities,
  132. p. 311, line 8Hearest those shouts of a conquering army?
  133. p. 313, line 10I hear those odes, symphonies, operas,
  134. p. 314, line 30And questioning all those reminiscences, the tempest in its fury,
  135. p. 314, line 32And those rapt oriental dances of religious fervor,
  136. p. 321, line 31I could not launch, to those, superior universes?
  137. p. 322, line 18O soul, voyagest thou indeed on voyages like those?
  138. p. 322, line 19Disportest thou on waters such as those?
  139. p. 323, line 30Thou knowest I have in age ratified all those vows and strictly kept them,
  140. p. 326, line 22Well do they do their jobs those journeymen divine,
  141. p. 330, line 18The actor and actress, those through with their parts and those waiting to commence,
  142. p. 332, line 20Let judges and criminals be transposed—let the prison-keepers be put in prison—let those that were prisoners take the keys;
  143. p. 336, line 8He is one of those who are beautiful and happy, he is one of those that to look upon and be with is enough.
  144. p. 339, line 8Aged beyond computation, yet ever new, ever with those mighty laws rolling,
  145. p. 341, line 25And those appear that are hateful to me and mock me.
  146. p. 344, line 5O to disengage myself from those corpses of me, which I turn and look at where I cast them,
  147. p. 345, line 8And now touch'd with the lives of other globes arrived as far along as those of the earth,
  148. p. 345, line 9Or waiting to arrive, or pass'd on farther than those of the earth,
  149. p. 345, line 21Sinking there while the passionless wet flows on—and I now pondering, Are those women indeed gone?
  150. p. 347, line 5But leave to those to come the house itself.
  151. p. 351, line 23The net is drawn in by a windlass by those who stop ashore,
  152. p. 352, line 14I understand them, I know those flames, those perturbations well.)
  153. p. 363, line 25And who thinks the amplest thoughts? for I would surround those thoughts,
  154. p. 368, line 14Those prairie sovereigns of the West, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
  155. p. 377, line 23NOT alone those camps of white, old comrades of the wars,
  156. p. 378, line 10Now in those camps of green, in their tents dotting the world,
  157. p. 378, line 25Those heart-beats of a Nation in the night,
  158. p. 379, line 24WHAT are those of the known but to ascend and enter the Unknown?
  159. p. 379, line 25And what are those of life but for Death?
  160. p. 384, line 5Mannahatta, 385 Paumanok, 385 From Montauk Point, 385 To Those Who've Fail'd, 385 A Carol Closing Sixty-Nine, 386 The Bravest Soldiers, 386 A […]
  161. p. 385, line 14To those who've fail'd, in aspiration vast,
  162. p. 387, line 9Those cart loads of old charnel ashes, scales and splints of mouldy bones,
  163. p. 392, line 13Some vast heart, like a planet's, chain'd and chafing in those breakers,
  164. p. 395, line 20How through those strains distill'd—how the rapt ears, the soul of me, absorbing
  165. p. 398, line 13For all my days—not those of peace alone—the days of war the same,
  166. p. 400, line 19Have you learn'd lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you?
  167. p. 400, line 20Have you not learn'd great lessons from those who reject you, and brace themselves against you? or who treat you with contempt, or dispute the passage with you?
  168. p. 401, line 12(Then what the told-out story of those twenty years? What of the future?)
  169. p. 404, line 12(So hard for his hand to release those hands—no more will they meet,
