Popularne fragmenty
Strona 313 - Shakespeare is above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirrour of manners and of life. His characters are not modified by the customs of particular places, unpractised by the rest of the world; by the peculiarities of studies or professions, which can operate but upon small numbers; or by the accidents of transient fashions or temporary opinions: they...
Strona 261 - I never heard the old song of Percy and Douglas that I found not my heart moved more than with a trumpet...
Strona 315 - That this is a practice contrary to the rules of criticism will be readily allowed, but there is always an appeal open from criticism to nature.
Strona 314 - Other writers disguise the most natural passions and most frequent incidents; so that he who contemplates them in the book will not know them in the world: Shakespeare approximates the remote, and familiarizes the wonderful: the event which he represents will not happen; but, if it were possible, its effects would probably be such as he has assigned...

Strona 317 - In tragedy he is always struggling after some occasion to be comick, but in comedy he seems to repose, or to luxuriate, as in a mode of thinking congenial to his nature. In his tragick scenes there is always something wanting, but his comedy often surpasses expectation or desire. His comedy pleases by the thoughts and the language, and his tragedy for the greater part by incident and action. His tragedy seems to be skill, his comedy to be instinct.
Strona 316 - That the mingled drama may convey all the instruction of tragedy or comedy cannot be denied, because it includes both in its...
Strona 233 - Medea could in so short a time have transported him; he knows with certainty that he has not changed his place; and he knows that place cannot change itself: that what was a house cannot become a plain, that what was Thebes can never be Persepolis.
