Strana 15 - in a season of calm weather, Though inland far we be, Our souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither, Can in a moment travel thither, And see the children sport upon the shore,
Strana 267 - whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future, predominate over the present, advances us in the scale of rational beings.

Strana 182 - It is a poor centre of a man's actions, himself; it is right earth, for that only stands fast upon its own centre ; whereas all things that have affinity with the heavens, move upon the centre of another which they benefit.
Strana 174 - Spain's chivalry away, A single laugh demolish'd the right arm Of his own country. Seldom since that day Has Spain had heroes While romance could charm, The world gave ground before her bright array ; And therefore have his volumes done such harm, That all their glory, as a composition, Was dearly purchas'd by his land's perdition.
