Strona 128 - And fables of a world, that never was ! What feels the body, when the soul expires, By time corrupted, or consum'd by fires?
Strona 128 - Heav'n could move With Strength of Mind, and tread th'Abyfs above ; And penetrate with his interior Light Thofe upper Depths which Nature hid from Sight. And what he had obferv'd and learnt from thence, Lov'd in familiar Language to difpenfe.
Strona 130 - And that the generous mind, releas'd by death, Can covet lazy limbs, and mortal breath? Anchifes, then, in order thus begun To clear thofe wonders to his godlike fon : Know firft, that heaven and earth's compafted frame, And flowing waters, and the ftarry flame, And both the radiant lights, one common foul Infpires and feeds, and animates the whole. This aftive mind infus'd through all the fpace, Unites and mingles with the mighty mafs.
Strona 131 - As much as earthy limbs, and gross allay Of mortal members, subject to decay, Blunt not the beams of heav'n and edge of day. From this coarse mixture of terrestrial parts, Desire and fear by turns possess their hearts, And grief, and joy; nor can the groveling mind, In the dark dungeon of the limbs confin'd, Assert the native skies, or own its heav'nly kind: Nor death itself can wholly wash their stains; But long-contracted filth ev'n in the soul remains.

So that to move would be in vain to try, But all would fixt, stubborn and moveless lie : Because no yielding body could be found Which first should move, and give the other ground.
Strona 130 - Hence men and beafts the breath of life obtain ; And birds of air, and monfters of the main. Th...
Strona 38 - Exner's account,4 a beggar is dying, his identity is determined by officers, he is allowed to lie where be is, covered with mats held down with stones so that the dogs can not trouble him while alive; as soon as he is dead, however, they do their duty. The Kamchatkans believe in the life of the soul after the death of the body, and in the warm desire for this better life the father often allows his children to strangle him or to throw him to the dogs...
Strona 310 - Mittere, et utilitas expreffit nomina rerum : Non alia longe ratione, atque ipfa videtur Protrahere ad geftum pueros infantia linguae, Cumfacit, ut digito, quae fint praefentia, monftrent.
Strona 311 - Made leagues, and bonds, and each scour 'd his own . And then by signs, and broken words agreed, That they would keep, preserve, defend, and feed Defenceless infants, and the women too, As natural pity prompted them to do. Kind Nature power of framing sounds affords To man, and then convenience taught us words. As infants now, for want of words, devise Expressive signs, they speak with hands and eyes ; Their speaking hand the want of words supplies. And then since beasts, and birds, tho...
