Popularne fragmenty
Strona 105 - For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels and the plots and marshalling of affairs come best from those that are learned.
Strona 89 - Ay me! I fondly dream — Had ye been there — for what could that have done? What could the Muse herself that Orpheus bore. The Muse herself, for her enchanting son, Whom universal nature did lament, When by the rout that made the hideous roar His gory visage down the stream was sent, Down the swift Hebrus to the Lesbian shore?
Strona 156 - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Bless the bed that I lie on. Four corners to my bed, Four angels round my head; One to watch and one to pray And two to bear my soul away.
Strona 2 - Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an uninhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself.

Strona 257 - At eve last Midsummer no sleep I sought, But to the field a bag of hempseed brought; I...
Strona 444 - Otis's pamphlet I never saw, and whether I had gathered my ideas from reading or reflection, I do not know. I know only that I turned to neither book nor pamphlet while writing it. I did not consider it as any part of my charge to invent new ideas altogether, and to offer no sentiment which had ever...
Strona 413 - There were eight or ten more lines, but Peter destroyed them in his wrath. In the region of wild burlesque, where the ridiculous, by its intensity and mass, becomes the sublime, I never met any one to approach " Peter," except our amazing Medea-Robson.
Strona 220 - Now I lay me down to sleep ; I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take.
