Experiments with Bromine.--Place in a very flaring wine glass a few drops (say ten) of bromine, then place a small piece of phosphorus about one-twentieth of an inch in diameter. Place the latter on the end of a stick from five to ten feet in length. So place it that the phosphorus can be dropped into the glass, and in an instant combustion giving a loud report will be the result.英文原著 · 《American Hand Book of the Daguerreotype》
When this is done, nothing more will be necessary than to build up the back and covings; and if the Fire-place is designed for burning coals, to fix the grate in its proper place, according to the directions already given.--When the width of the Fire-place is reduced, the edges of the covings a A and b B are to make a finish with the front of the jambs.--And in general it will be best, not only for the sake of the appearance of the Chimney, but for other reasons also, to lower the height of the opening of the Fire-place, whenever its width in front is diminished.英文原著 · 《ESSAYS-1》
Whether a Chimney be designed for burning wood upon the hearth, or wood, or coals in a grate, the form of the Fire-place is in my opinion, most perfect when THE WIDTH OF THE BACK is equal to the DEPTH OF THE FIRE-PLACE, and the opening of the Fire-place in front equal to THREE TIMES the width of the back, or, which is the same thing, to THREE TIMES THE DEPTH OF THE FIRE-PLACE.英文原著 · 《ESSAYS-1》
"It is an island in the sea yonder, madame. A quiet place of trees. When there was not a man in the world, evil spirits built there an altar for the worship of the devil. No men could have built it. There are huge stones carried there from the mountains far inland, that no engine could lift. It is a great mystery."
"It is the one place in the world, people say," interrupted Selo, lowering his voice, "where God never has been. A dreadful place, madame!"
Frances laughed. "That is the place for me," she said to Selo.英文原著 · 《Frances Waldeaux》
We Must Get Ready to Get
We young people come up into life wanting great places. I would not give much for a young person (or any other person) who does not want a great place. I would not give much for anybody who does not look forward to greater and better things tomorrow. We often think the way to get a great place is just to go after it and get it. If we do not have pull enough, get some more pull. Get some more testimonials. We think if we could only get into a great place we would be great. But unless we have grown as great as the place we would be a great joke, for we would rattle.英文原著 · 《The University of Hard Knocks》
There was a yeoman in that place, And best worth-y was he. And for he was ferre and fremd bestad, I-slain he should have be. The knight had ruth of this yeom-an, In place where that he stood, He said that yeoman should have no harm, For love of Robin Hood. The knight press-ed into the place, An hundred followed him free, With bow-es bent, and arrows sharp, For to shend that company.英文原著 · 《A Bundle of Ballads》

And the pure money grab, while intoxicating in theory, never seems to leave anyone any better off than they were the moment they had the big idea in the first place. because they are still stuck here, bound to this place and its limitations of fuel, space, and class struggle.美剧 · 《Billions》
