Strona 89 - O ! who can hold a fire in his hand By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite By bare imagination of a feast? Or wallow naked in December snow By thinking on fantastic summer's heat? O no, the apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse : Fell sorrow's tooth doth never rankle more Than when it bites, but lanceth not the sore.
Strona 88 - Achilles' image stood his spear Grip'd in an armed hand; himself behind Was left unseen, save to the eye of mind: A hand, a foot, a face, a leg, a head, Stood for the whole to be imagined.
Strona 302 - Adultery ! it is the lightest ill . ' / I will commit. A race of wicked acts Shall flow out of my anger, and o'erspread The world's wide face, which no posterity Shall e'er approve, nor yet keep silent...
Strona 467 - State ergo succincti lumbos vestros in veritate, et induti loricam justitiae, et calceati pedes in praeparatione evangelii pacis : in omnibus sumentes scutum fidei, in quo possitis omnia tela nequissimi ignea extinguere : et galeam salutis assumite, et gladium Spiritus (quod est verbum Dei...
Strona 85 - That very time I saw (but thou couldst not), Flying between the cold moon and the earth, Cupid all armed ; a certain aim he took At a fair vestal, throned by the west; And loosed his love-shaft smartly from his bow, As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts: But I might see young Cupid's fiery shaft Quenched in the chaste beams of the watery moon ; And the imperial votaress passed on, In maiden meditation, fancy-free.
Strona 302 - I do not know The heart of his designs ; but sure their face Looks farther than the present. Arr. By the gods, If I could guess he had but such a thought, My sword should cleave him down...
Strona 6 - One of the flaws of my system is that it robs me of the privilege of reading much brilliant writing. For instance, I am compelled, by my system, wholly to abstain from studying those articles upon dramatic matters contributed to a well-known journal by your friend Mr G***** B****** S***— of whom I protest I am, in general, a warm admirer.
Strona 427 - I look upon my letters as some of my chef-d'ceuvres ; and, could I be supposed to have the least pretensions to propriety of style or sentiment, I should imagine it must appear principally in my letters to his brother, and one or two more friends.
Strona 303 - All for a crown. The prince who shames a tyrant's name to bear, Shall never dare do anything but fear; All the command of sceptres quite doth perish If it begin religious thoughts to cherish: Whole empires fall, swayed by those nice respects; It is the licence of dark deeds protects Ev'n states most hated: when no laws resist The sword, but that it acteth what it list.
Strona 533 - Or be obliged to sneak into the side-box, and between both houses steal two acts of a play, and because we han't money *to see the other three, we come away discontented, and damn the whole five.
