Σελίδα 326 - I waked one morning, in the beginning of last June, from a dream, of which, all I could recover was, that I had thought myself in an ancient castle (a very natural dream for a head filled like mine with Gothic story), and that on the uppermost banister of a great staircase I saw a gigantic hand in armour.
Σελίδα 269 - A certain man had two sons : and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.
Σελίδα 269 - And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.
Σελίδα 86 - ... they gave rise to any more birthdays, who could help it? The fireworks were fine, and succeeded well. On each side of the court were two large scaffolds for the Virgin's tradespeople. When the fireworks ceased, a large scene was lighted in the court, representing their Majesties; on each side of which were six obelisks, painted with emblems, and illuminated; mottoes beneath in Latin and English: 1.
Σελίδα 45 - Lordship's3 thoughts on the present state of politics. Perhaps he has none. Now, are you willing, and are you the proper person, to tell Lord Orford that I will do my best to procure this employment for. him, if I can soon learn that he desires it ? If he does choose it, I doubt not of his and his friend Boone V hearty assistance, and believe I shall see you too much oftener in the House of Commons.
Σελίδα 405 - The French affect philosophy, literature, and freethinking: the first never did, and never will possess me ; of the two others I have long been tired. Freethinking is for one's self, surely not for society; besides one has settled one's way of thinking, or knows it cannot be settled, and for others I do not see why there is not as much bigotry in attempting conversions from any religion as to it.
Σελίδα 470 - no,' yawned when I should have smiled, and was very penitent when I should have rejoiced at my pardon. Madame de Boufflers was more distressed, for he owned twenty times more than I had said: she frowned, and made him signs; but she had wound up his clack, and there was no stopping it. The moment she...
Σελίδα 461 - Mais si vous vous obstinez à rejeter mon secours, attendez-vous que je ne le dirai à personne. Si vous persistez à vous creuser l'esprit pour trouver de nouveaux malheurs, choisissez les tels que vous voudrez ; je suis roi ; je puis vous en procurer au gré de vos souhaits ; et, ce qui sûrement...
Σελίδα 328 - I lay aside all thoughts of a mazy habitation : though a bower is very different from an arbour, and must have more chambers than one. In short, I both know, and don't know, what it should be. I am almost afraid I must go and read Spenser, and wade through his allegories and drawling stanzas, to get at a picture.
Σελίδα 466 - Would not you expect this old man to be very agreeable ? He can be so, but seldom is: yet he has another very different and very amusing talent, the art of parody, and is unique in his kind. He composes tales to the tunes of long dances : for instance, he has adapted the Regent's Daphnis and Chloe to one, and made it ten times more indecent; but is so old and sings it so well, that it is permitted in all companies. He has succeeded still better in les caracteres de la danse, to which he has adapted...
