Էջ 232 - So much the rather thou, celestial Light, Shine inward, and the mind through all her powers Irradiate ; there plant eyes, all mist from thence Purge and disperse, that I may see and tell Of things invisible to mortal sight.
Էջ 231 - Thee I revisit safe, And feel thy sovran vital lamp ; but thou Revisit'st not these eyes, that roll in vain To find thy piercing ray, and find no dawn ; So thick a drop serene hath quenched their orbs, Or dim suffusion veiled.
Էջ 135 - Skill of a powerful ever-living Agent, who being in all Places, is more able by his Will to move the Bodies within his boundless uniform Sensorium, and thereby to form and reform the Parts of the Universe, than we are by our Will to move the Parts of our own Bodies.
Էջ 134 - For it became him who created them to set them in order. And if he did so, it's unphilosophical to seek for any other Origin of the World, or to pretend that it might arise out of a Chaos by the mere Laws of Nature; though being once form'd, it may continue by those Laws for many Ages.
Էջ iv - The understanding, indeed, opens an infinite space on every side of us, but the imagination, after a few faint efforts is immediately at a stand, and finds herself swallowed up in the immensity of the void that surrounds it.

Էջ iii - ... these several parts, before they have arrived at their full growth and perfection : but if, after all this, we -take the least particle of these animal spirits, and consider its capacity of being wrought into a world that shall contain within...
Էջ iii - Nothing is more pleasant to the fancy, than to enlarge itself by degrees, in its contemplation of the various proportions which its several objects bear to each other, when it compares the body of man to the bulk of the whole earth, the earth to the circle it describes round...
Էջ 232 - Seafons return, but not to me returns Day, or the fweet approach of ev'n or morn^ Or fight of vernal bloom, or fummer's rofe, Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine ; But cloud inftead, and ever-during dark 45 Surrounds me, from the chearful ways of men Cut off...
Էջ iv - ... hundred times less than a mite, or to compare in his thoughts a length of a thousand diameters of the earth with that of a million; and he will quickly find that he has no different measures in his mind adjusted to such extraordinary degrees of grandeur or minuteness.
