Σελίδα 231 - Foolish soul! What Act of Legislature was there that thou shouldst be Happy? A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all. What if thou wert born and predestined not to be Happy, but to be Unhappy!
Σελίδα 186 - Not happy, in thy death thou surely wert ; Thy wish accomplished ; dying in the land Where thy young mind had caught ethereal fire : Dying in Greece, and in a cause so glorious. They in thy train — ah, little did they think, As round we went, that they so soon should sit Mourning beside thee, while a Nation...
Σελίδα 117 - The Pilgrim of Eternity, whose fame Over his living head like Heaven is bent, An early but enduring monument...
Σελίδα 1 - Tis but to fill A certain portion of uncertain paper. Some liken it to climbing up a hill, Whose summit, like all hills, is lost in vapour. For this men write, speak, preach, and heroes kill, And bards burn what they call their midnight taper, To have, when the original is dust, A name, a wretched picture, and worse bust.

Σελίδα 186 - Tried as thou wert, and with thy soul of flame ; Pleasure, while yet the down was on thy cheek, Uplifting, pressing, and to lips like thine, Her charmed cup — ah, who among us all Could say he had not err'd as much, and more?

He was certainly proud of his rank and...
Σελίδα 122 - Greeks have cause to miss him. He was to me offensive, and I never can make out his great power, which his admirers talk of. Why, a line of Wordsworth's is a lever to lift the immortal spirit ! Byrons can only move the Spleen. He was at best a Satyrist — in any other way he was mean enough.
Σελίδα 184 - With Nature's self He seemed an old acquaintance, free to jest At will with all her glorious majesty. He laid his hand upon "the Ocean's mane...
Σελίδα 230 - The Godlike has vanished from the world; and they, by the strong cry of their soul's agony, like true wonder-workers, must again evoke its presence. This miracle is their appointed task; which they must accomplish, or die wretchedly : this miracle has been accomplished by such : but not in our land ; oar land yet knows not of it.
