Strona 372 - When, wildered, he drops from some cliff huge in stature, And draws his last sob by the side of his dam.
Strona 372 - I CLIMB'D the dark brow of the mighty Hellvellyn, Lakes and mountains beneath me gleam'd misty and wide ; All was still, save by fits, when the eagle was yelling. And starting around me the echoes replied. On the right, Striden-edge round the Red-tarn was bending, And Catchedicam its left verge was defending, One huge nameless rock in the front was ascending, When I mark'd the sad spot where the wanderer had died.
Strona 66 - Had you any conversation with Brougham? He is an uncommon genius, of a composite order, if you allow me to use the expression; he unites the greatest ardour for general information in every branch of knowledge, and, what is more remarkable, activity in the business, and interest in the pleasures of the world, with all the powers of a mathematical intellect.
Strona 207 - I was not, like his Grace of Bedford, swaddled, and rocked, and dandled into a legislator ; " Nitor in adversum " is the motto for a man like me.

If I should be fortunate enough to become acquainted with Alison, I persuade myself his conversation would contribute to the melioration of my character. When I recollect the lights which my understanding has received, and the...
Strona 294 - Soon after, in 1805, Horner wrote as follows:— " This morning I returned from a visit to our poet Campbell. He has fixed himself in a small house upon Sydenham Common, where he labours hard, and is perfectly happy with his wife and child. I have seldom seen so strong an argument from experiment in favour of matrimony, as the change has operated on the general tone of his temper and morals.
Strona 178 - I have since (April 2d) met Davy in company, and was much pleased with him ; a great softness and propriety of manner, which might be cultivated into elegance ; his physiognomy struck me as being superior to what the science of chemistry, on its present plan, can afford exercise for ; I fancied to discover in it the lineaments of poetical feeling.
Strona 151 - ... the effect of familiarizing his reader with the idea that genius is an acquisition rather than a gift ; while with all...
