Strana 40 - she replied, " you can never be in want of a subject: — you can write upon any: — write upon this sofa!
Strana 40 - The Task ' with fresh delight. I am glad you love Cowper : I could forgive a man for not enjoying Milton, but I would not call that man my friend who should be offended with the 'divine chit-chat of Cowper.
Strana 38 - His humour is entirely original ; he can speak of a magpie, or a cat, in terms so exquisitely appropriated to the character he draws, that one would suppose him animated by the spirit of the creature he describes.
