Էջ 79 - That, changed through all, and yet in all the same; Great in the earth, as in th' ethereal frame; Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees, Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent...
Էջ 59 - For who to dumb forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e'er resigned, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing lingering look behind?
Էջ 79 - Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent ; Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal part, As full, as perfect, in a hair as heart ; As full, as perfect, in vile man that mourns, As the rapt Seraph that adores and burns ; To him no high, no low, no great, no small : He fills, he bounds, connects, and equals all.
Էջ 2 - I have remarked that a true delineation of the smallest man, and his scene of pilgrimage through life, is capable of interesting the greatest man ; that all men are to an unspeakable degree brothers, each man's life a strange emblem of every man's ; and that Human Portraits, faithfully drawn, are of all pictures the welcomest on human walls.
Էջ 58 - He was passionately fond of the beauties of nature ; and I recollect once he told me, when I was admiring a distant prospect in one of our morning walks, that the sight of so many smoking cottages gave a pleasure to his mind, which none could understand who had not witnessed, like himself, the happiness and the worth which they contained.
Էջ 125 - Greece, and challenged the fiddlers at their trade. ^Eropus, a Macedonian king, made lanterns. Harcatius, the king of Parthia, was a mole-catcher : and Biantes, the Lydian, filed needles. He, that is appointed to minister in holy things, must not suffer secular affairs and sordid arts to eat up great portions of his employment : a clergyman must not keep a tavern, nor a judge be an...
Էջ 139 - England, the capital punishment for murder was remitted, if the criminal could but read, which in law language is termed benefit of clergy. One would imagine that the art must have made a very rapid progress when so greatly favoured : but there is a signal proof of the contrary, for so small an edition of the Bible as six hundred copies, translated into English in the reign of Henry VIII. was not wholly sold off in three years.
Էջ 36 - Now expectation listens, mute and pale, While, ridged with sudden foam, the Derwent brawls ; Arrow-like comes the rain, like fire the hail ; And, hark ! Mam-Tor on shuddering Stanage calls ! See what a frown o'er castled Winnat falls ! Down drops the death-black sky ! and Kinderscout, Conscious of glory, laughs at intervals; Then lifts his helmet, throws his thunders out, Bathes all the hills in flame, and hails their stormy shout.
Էջ 168 - I she thought was water, but which was the fat from the bacon which her brother had just cooked, she drank it all off, returned to bed again, and found herself soon after rather better. She, however, had not the least hope, of surviving : — "But nature rallied, and her flame still burn'd — Sunk in the socket, glimmer'd and return'd ; The golden bowl and silver cord were sound ; The cistern's wheel revolved its steady round ; Fire — vital fire — evolved the living steam, And life's fine engine...
Էջ 143 - Fear and dismay overwhelmed their souls ; they shrunk back with terror at the increasing ravages of this most capricious, indescribable, and horrid disease ; which in the beautiful language of the poet, — " Darts in the whirlwind — floats upon the breeze — Creeps down the vales, and hangs upon the trees — Strikes in a sunbeam — in the evening cool — • Flags on the fog, and stagnates on the pool — In films...
