Park
into Fifth Avenue, she divined her son's tall figure walking
ahead
of her in the twilight. His long stride covered the ground more
rapidly than usual, and she had a premonition that, if he were
going home at that hour, it was because he wanted to see
her. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

studio. There were nine of them present, besides Brewster. They were all
young, more or less enterprising, hopeful, and reasonably sure of better
things to come. Most of them bore names that meant something in the story
of New York. Indeed, one of them had remarked, "A man is known by the street
that's named after him," and as he was a new member, they called him "Subway." | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 296 | Author: | McAfee, Cleland Boyd | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Greatest English Classic | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THERE are three great Book-religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedanism.
Other religions have their sacred writings,
but they do not hold them in the same regard as
do these three. Buddhism and Confucianism
count their books rather records of their faith
than rules for it, history rather than authoritative
sources of belief. The three great Book-religions yield a measure of authority to their
sacred books which would be utterly foreign to
the thought of other faiths. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
