Strana 231 - Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment ; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
Strana 119 - The sun had long since, in the lap Of Thetis, taken out his nap, And, like a lobster boil'd, the morn From black to red began to turn...
Strana 295 - The sentiments enforced are so transcendently beautiful, that they never can be out of place or season, wherever they may be found. In his second chapter of Natural Theology, speaking of the Divine attributes, he says: "Revelation gives such a display of the Divine goodness, as must fill us with the most ardent gratitude and adoration.
