time 171 Back to T

  1. p. 11, line 16(I think all war through time was really fought, and ever will be really fought, for thee,)
  2. p. 13, line 13All space, all time,
  3. p. 14, line 16With time and space I him dilate and fuse the immortal laws,
  4. p. 14, line 30But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs.
  5. p. 19, line 7Victory, union, faith, identity, time,
  6. p. 19, line 21See, projected through time,
  7. p. 25, line 1And I will thread a thread through my poems that time and events are compact,
  8. p. 35, line 2I lift the gauze and look a long time, and silently brush away flies with my hand.
  9. p. 36, line 9I tuck'd my trowser-ends in my boots and went and had a good time;
  10. p. 40, line 20The conductor beats time for the band and all the performers follow him,
  11. p. 41, line 23The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time,
  12. p. 44, line 12Else it were time lost listening to me.
  13. p. 45, line 14And I know the amplitude of time.
  14. p. 47, line 15Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.
  15. p. 55, line 15Space and Time! now I see it is true, what I guess'd at,
  16. p. 64, line 19Give me a little time beyond my cuff'd head, slumbers, dreams, gaping,
  17. p. 67, line 28The supernatural of no account, myself waiting my time to be one of the supremes,
  18. p. 69, line 18I do not despise you priests, all time, the world over,
  19. p. 71, line 3It is time to explain myself—let us stand up.
  20. p. 71, line 24And took my time, and took no hurt from the fetid carbon.
  21. p. 73, line 11Count ever so much, there is limitless time around that.
  22. p. 73, line 15I know I have the best of time and space, and was never measured and never will be measured.
  23. p. 74, line 4And in due time you shall repay the same service to me,
  24. p. 75, line 10I do not say these things for a dollar or to fill up the time while I wait for a boat,
  25. p. 80, line 30From time the programme hastening, (I have loiter'd too long as it is,)
  26. p. 83, line 22Books, art, religion, time, the visible and solid earth, and what was expected of heaven or fear'd of hell, are now consumed,
  27. p. 91, line 20O to draw you to me, to plant on you for the first time the lips of a determin'd man.
  28. p. 112, line 25Stretch'd in due time within me the midnight sun just rises above the horizon and sinks again,
  29. p. 120, line 7(You will come forward in due time to my side.)
  30. p. 127, line 6To conceive no time, however distant, but what you may reach it and pass it,
  31. p. 130, line 7It avails not, time nor place—distance avails not,
  32. p. 130, line 14I too many and many a time cross'd the river of old,
  33. p. 131, line 12(The time will come, though I stop here to-day and to-night.)
  34. p. 133, line 21Receive the summer sky, you water, and faithfully hold it till all downcast eyes have time to take it from you!
  35. p. 136, line 22The indications and tally of time,
  36. p. 137, line 1Time, always without break, indicates itself in parts,
  37. p. 137, line 12All this time and at all times wait the words of true poems,
  38. p. 141, line 18The migrating flock of wild geese alighting in autumn to refresh themselves, the body of the flock feed, the sentinels outside move around with erect heads watching, and are from time to time reliev'd by other sentinels—and I feeding and taking turns with the rest,
  39. p. 142, line 17It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time,
  40. p. 142, line 18I will have thousands of globes and all time.
  41. p. 144, line 5Another time in warm weather out in a boat, to lift the lobster-pots where they are sunk with heavy stones, (I know the buoys,)
  42. p. 144, line 10Another time mackerel-taking,
  43. p. 144, line 12Another time fishing for rock-fish in Chesapeake bay, I one of the brown-faced crew;
  44. p. 144, line 13Another time trailing for blue-fish off Paumanok, I stand with braced body,
  45. p. 147, line 15Joys of the thought of Death, the great spheres Time and Space?
  46. p. 151, line 19The sack of an old city in its time,
  47. 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,
  48. p. 157, line 26The loving Laborer through space and time.)
  49. p. 159, line 4Ended, deceas'd through time, her voice by Castaly's fountain,
  50. p. 163, line 9These triumphs of our time, the Atlantic's delicate cable,
  51. p. 166, line 3My time has ended, my term has come.
  52. p. 166, line 18That chant of the seasons and time, chant not of the past only but the future.
  53. p. 166, line 27Our time, our term has come.
  54. p. 166, line 29We who have grandly fill'd our time;
  55. p. 167, line 2For a superber race, they too to grandly fill their time,
  56. p. 167, line 22You that, sometimes known, oftener unknown, really shape and mould the New World, adjusting it to Time and Space,
  57. p. 168, line 4Here heed himself, unfold himself, (not others' formulas heed,) here fill his time,
  58. p. 171, line 23The wonder every one sees in every one else he sees, and the wonders that fill each minute of time forever,
  59. p. 178, line 18Of all able and ready at any time to give strict account,
  60. p. 182, line 32Belief in plan of Thee enclosed in Time and Space,
  61. p. 187, line 7Your eyelids have been the same as closed most of the time,
  62. p. 188, line 17Or that there be no justice in destiny or time?
  63. p. 190, line 19I perceive I have no time to lose.
  64. p. 192, line 14We stand amid time beginningless and endless, we stand amid evil and good,
  65. p. 193, line 2And in the name of these States and in your and my name, the Present time.
  66. p. 193, line 4And I know that both curiously conjoint in the present time,
  67. p. 194, line 2When the façades of the houses are alive with people, when eyes gaze riveted tens of thousands at a time,
  68. p. 195, line 18I chant projected a thousand blooming cities yet in time on those groups of sea-islands,
  69. p. 197, line 29Singing all time, minding no time,
  70. p. 201, line 14Are you whispering it, and have been all the time, you sea-waves?
  71. p. 207, line 15All distances of time, all inanimate forms,
  72. p. 208, line 8Thou sea that pickest and cullest the race in time, and unitest nations,
  73. p. 208, line 20A pennant universal, subtly waving all time, o'er all brave sailors,
  74. p. 213, line 29Or Time and Space,
  75. p. 214, line 11Of what was once lacking on earth, and in due time has become supplied—and of what will yet be supplied,
  76. p. 214, line 19In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
  77. p. 218, line 2Through Nature, Time, and Space,
  78. p. 232, line 21Here we lay encamp'd, it was this time in summer also.
  79. p. 234, line 14And then, (it was just ere sunrise,) these eyes rested on him for the last time.
  80. p. 240, line 20The halt of a mid-day hour, when up! no time to lose—yet this sign left,
  81. p. 242, line 9In the nick of time I come, plunge in the fight, loudly shout in the rush of successful charge,
  82. p. 243, line 3On, on I go, (open doors of time! open hospital doors!)
  83. p. 245, line 2Where you hold me enchain'd a certain time refusing to give me up,
  84. p. 245, line 16Some, their time up, returning with thinn'd ranks, young, yet very old, worn, marching, noticing nothing;)
  85. p. 248, line 14The chief-gunner ranges and sights his piece and selects a fuse of the right time,
  86. p. 248, line 16Elsewhere I hear the cry of a regiment charging, (the young colonel leads himself this time with brandish'd sword,)
  87. p. 249, line 21Nor delicatesse, I cannot beguile the time with talk,
  88. p. 250, line 21Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in time be utterly lost,
  89. p. 253, line 13Evenly lightly rising and falling while the steps keep time;
  90. p. 253, line 24Spell of all brave and manly hearts, the trains of time through you and like of you all fill'd,
  91. p. 264, line 12A breed whose proof is in time and deeds,
  92. p. 272, line 10America justifies itself, give it time, no disguise can deceive it or conceal from it, it is impassive enough,
  93. p. 272, line 12If its poets appear it will in due time advance to meet them, there is no fear of mistake,
  94. p. 272, line 15The blood of the brawn beloved of time is unconstraint;
  95. p. 274, line 28Nor to feed the arrogant blood of the brawn belov'd of time.
  96. p. 277, line 22Or from the sea of Time, collecting vasting all, I bring,
  97. p. 287, line 14Waiting patiently, waiting its time.
  98. p. 289, line 20On Time, Space, Reality—on such as these, and abreast with them Prudence.
  99. p. 290, line 15Singly, wholly, to affect now, affected their time, will forever affect, all of the past and all of the present and all of the future,
  100. p. 291, line 14Now I breathe the word of the prudence that walks abreast with time, space, reality,
  101. p. 296, line 21These burin'd eyes, flashing to you to pass to future time,
  102. p. 298, line 15Yet we walk unheld, free, the whole earth over, journeying up and down till we make our ineffaceable mark upon time and the diverse eras,
  103. p. 298, line 16Till we saturate time and eras, that the men and women of races, ages to come, may prove brethren and lovers as we are.
  104. p. 304, line 2Who, constructing the house of himself or herself, not for a day but for all time, sees races, eras, dates, generations,
  105. p. 305, line 1I do not think seventy years is the time of a man or woman,
  106. p. 305, line 2Nor that seventy millions of years is the time of a man or woman,
  107. p. 318, line 25Perhaps even now the time has arrived.
  108. p. 320, line 22(Curious in time I stand, noting the efforts of heroes,
  109. p. 321, line 15Thoughts, silent thoughts, of Time and Space and Death, like waters flowing,
  110. p. 321, line 33At Nature and its wonders, Time and Space and Death,
  111. p. 322, line 2Thou matest Time, smilest content at Death,
  112. p. 322, line 11Reckoning ahead O soul, when thou, the time achiev'd,
  113. p. 330, line 20The great already known and the great any time after to-day,
  114. p. 332, line 17I will stop only a time with the night, and rise betimes,
  115. p. 333, line 1TO think of time—of all that retrospection,
  116. p. 335, line 10But in due time you and I shall take less interest in them.
  117. p. 338, line 11All but the ties eternal, Time and Space,
  118. p. 338, line 14In Time and Space O soul, prepared for them,
  119. p. 339, line 5Not Time affects me—I am Time, old, modern as any,
  120. p. 340, line 10Nor time nor change shall ever change me or my words.
  121. p. 342, line 11I do not doubt that whatever can possibly happen anywhere at any time, is provided for in the inherences of things,
  122. p. 342, line 12I do not think Life provides for all and for Time and Space, but I believe Heavenly Death provides for all.
  123. p. 348, line 10It to eventuate in thee—the essence of the by-gone time contain'd in thee,
  124. p. 348, line 19With thee Time voyages in trust, the antecedent nations sink or swim with thee,
  125. p. 351, line 5Whatever they are to-day and whatever through time they may be,
  126. p. 357, line 17Love, that is all the earth to lovers—love, that mocks time and space,
  127. p. 363, line 6How all superbest deeds since Time began are traceable to it—and shall be to the end!
  128. p. 366, line 5Thou waitest there as everywhere thy time.
  129. p. 367, line 25Onward I sped at the time—but now of their forms at night,
  130. p. 368, line 9Ever undimm'd by time shoots warlike victory's dazzle,
  131. p. 369, line 4Now thou stridest on, yet perhaps in time toward denser wars,
  132. p. 369, line 5Perhaps to engage in time in still more dreadful contests, dangers,
  133. p. 370, line 1AS the time draws nigh glooming a cloud,
  134. p. 372, line 6Nothing from you this time O drummers bearing my warlike drums.
  135. p. 373, line 15And how now or at any time each serves the exquisite transition of death.
  136. p. 376, line 11O setting sun! though the time has come,
  137. p. 379, line 7Through Space and Time fused in a chant, and the flowing eternal identity,
  138. p. 380, line 24And take the young woman's hand and the young man's hand for the last time.
  139. p. 381, line 28So I pass, a little time vocal, visible, contrary,
  140. p. 385, line 18High, high above the rest—To all cut off before their time,
  141. p. 387, line 21Chair'd in the adamant of Time.
  142. p. 388, line 2The course of Time and nations—Egypt, India, Greece and Rome;
  143. p. 390, line 12On for your time, ye furious debouché!
  144. p. 396, line 5Ample are time and space—ample the fields of Nature.
  145. p. 397, line 7"The world, the race, the soul—in space and time the universes,
