Σελίδα 353 - Honour misplaced, and Dignity astray ; Feuds, factions, flatteries, enmity, and guile Murmuring submission, and bald government, (The idol weak as the idolater,) And Decency and Custom starving Truth, And blind Authority beating with his staff The child that might have led him ; Emptiness Followed as of good omen, and meek Worth Left to herself unheard of and unknown.
Σελίδα 130 - The Temple of Sacred Poems, sent to a Gentlewoman. Know you fair, on what you look ? Divinest love lies in this book : Expecting fire from your eyes, To kindle this his sacrifice. When your hands untie these strings, Think you've an angel by the wings...
Σελίδα 101 - And in this Trinity none is afore or after other; none is greater or less than another.
Σελίδα 433 - Those who love not their fellow-beings live unfruitful lives, and prepare for their old age a miserable grave. ' The good die first, And those whose hearts are dry as summer dust, Burn to the socket !

Σελίδα 315 - He made no reply at the time, and the words seemed to have passed unheeded; indeed, it was not certain that they had been even heard. More than twenty-four hours afterwards one of his nieces came into the room, and was drawing aside the curtain of his chamber, and then, as if awakening from a quiet sleep, he said, "Is that Dora?
Σελίδα 46 - Such was the Boy — but for the growing Youth What soul was his, when, from the naked top Of some bold headland, he beheld the sun Rise up, and bathe the world in light ! He looked — Ocean and earth, the solid frame of earth And ocean's liquid mass...
Σελίδα 407 - I knew dear Mr. Wordsworth perhaps as well as I have ever known any one in the world — more intimately than I knew my father, and as intimately as I knew my Uncle Southey.
