Էջ 80 - Seasons return, but not to me returns Day, or the sweet approach of ev'n or morn, Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose, Or flocks or herds or human face divine ; But cloud instead, and ever-during dark Surrounds me, from the cheerful ways of men Cut off, and for the book of knowledge fair Presented with an universal blank Of nature's works, to me expung'd and ras'd, And wisdom at one entrance quite shut out.

Did ever poet image aught so fair, Dreaming in whispering groves, by the hoarse brook; Or prophet, to whose rapture heaven descends...

Էջ 49 - A lens is glass ground into such a form, as to collect or disperse the rays of light which pass through it. These are of different shapes, and from thence receive different names.
Էջ 61 - If anoto glass, FG, of the same convexity as DE, be placed in the rays at the same distance from the focus, it will refract them so, as that, after going out of it, they will be all parallel...
