Σελίδα 168 - A mighty mass of brick, and smoke, and shipping, Dirty and dusky, but as wide as eye Could reach, with here and there a sail just skipping ' ' In sight, then lost amidst the forestry Of masts ; a wilderness of steeples peeping On tiptoe, through their sea-coal canopy ; A huge dun cupola, like a foolscap crown On a fool's head — and there is London town ! LXXXIII.
Σελίδα 39 - Not where he eats, but where he is eaten : a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet : we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots...
Σελίδα 325 - Between two worlds life hovers like a star Twixt night and morn upon the horizon's verge. How little do we know that which we are ! How less what we may be! The eternal surge Of time and tide rolls on and bears afar Our bubbles. As the old burst, new emerge, Lashed from the foam of ages; while the graves Of empires heave but like some passing waves.
Σελίδα 238 - The joys of mutual hate to keep them warm, Instead of love, that mere hallucination ] Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure ; Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
Σελίδα 45 - They accuse me - Me - the present writer of The present poem - of - I know not what A tendency to under-rate and scoff At human power and virtue, and all that; And this they say in language rather rough. Good God! I wonder what they would be at! I say no more than hath been said in Dante's Verse, and by Solomon and by Cervantes; By Swift, by Machiavel, by Rochefoucault, By Fenelon, by Luther, and by Plato; By Tillotson, and Wesley, and Rousseau, Who knew this life was not worth a potato.
Σελίδα 367 - t is merely what is called mobility,1 i. In French " mabiliti." lam not sure that mobility is English; but it is expressive of a quality which rather belongs to other climates, though it is sometimes seen to a great extent in our own. It may be defined as an excessive susceptibility of immediate impressions — at the same time without losing the past : and is. though sometimes apparently useful to the possessor, a most painful and unhappy attribute.
Σελίδα 38 - That never set a squadron in the field, Nor the division of a battle knows More than a spinster...
Σελίδα 75 - The drying up a single tear has more Of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore.
Σελίδα 251 - gainst the thunderstroke; And from beneath his boughs were seen to sally The dappled foresters — as day awoke, The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmur'd like a bird.
Σελίδα 180 - The first attack at once proved the Divinity (But that I never doubted, nor the Devil) ; The next, the Virgin's mystical virginity ; The third, the usual Origin of Evil ; The fourth at once established the whole Trinity On so uncontrovertible a level, That I devoutly wish'd the three were four, On purpose to believe so much the more.
