Էջ 238 - Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is : What if my leaves are falling like its own ! The tumult of thy mighty harmonies Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone, Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, spirit fierce, My spirit ! Be thou me, impetuous one...
Էջ 277 - But what signifies our wishing? Things happen after all as they will happen.

Էջ 69 - Goldsmith— A Poet, Naturalist, and Historian, Who left scarcely any style of writing untouched, And touched nothing that he did not adorn ; Of all the passions, Whether smiles were to be moved or tears, A powerful yet gentle master ; In genius, sublime, vivid, versatile, In style, elevated, clear, elegant — The love of companions, The fidelity of friends, And the veneration of readers, Have by this monument honoured the memory.
Էջ 267 - In brief, where the Scripture is silent, the church is my text; where that speaks, 'tis but my comment: where there is a joint silence of both, I borrow not the rules of my religion from Rome or Geneva, but the dictates of my own reason.
Էջ 68 - The misfortune of Goldsmith in conversation is this : he goes on without knowing how he is to get off. His genius is great, but his knowledge is small. As they say of a generous man, it is a pity he is not rich, we may say of Goldsmith, it is a pity he is not knowing. He would not keep his knowledge to himself.
Էջ 267 - Whatsoever is beyond, as points indifferent, I observe according to the rules of my private reason, or the humour and fashion of my Devotion ; neither believing this, because Luther affirmed it, or disproving that, because Calvin hath disavouched it.
