Popularne fragmenty
Strona 96 - Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri, Quo me cunque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes.
Strona 154 - Scotland during the last half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century.
Strona 105 - What he admired and loved, his vital smile Unfolded into being.

It will be difficult to name a class of landscape in which the sky is not the key note, the standard of scale, and the chief organ of sentiment.
Strona 47 - my careless boyhood" with all that lies on the banks of the Stour; those scenes made me a painter, and I am grateful; that is, I had often thought of pictures of them before I ever touched a pencil...
