Strana 173 - There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have; And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again.
Strana 309 - But where a book is at once both good and rare — where the individual is almost the species, and when that perishes, We know not where is that Promethean torch That can its light relumine...
Strana 235 - These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die; like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume...
Strana 470 - From women's eyes this doctrine I derive: They sparkle still the right Promethean fire ; They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain, and nourish all the world...
Strana 306 - was a very fine gentleman, active, and full of courage, and most accomplished in those qualities of horsemanship, dancing, and fencing, which accompany a good breeding ; in which his delight was. Besides that, he was amorous in poetry, and musick, to which he indulged the greatest part of his time ; and nothing could...

Strana 405 - You are best aware, yourself, what your past life has been: the world knows somewhat of it: but there is pardon Above for the most guilty, when it is earnestly sought. It now only remains for me to pass upon you the dread sentence of the law. It is, that you, Francis Levison, be taken back to the place whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, and that you be there hanged by the neck until you are dead. And may the Lord God Almighty have mercy upon your immortal soul!
Strana 190 - I saw the gorillas this first time. As they ran — on their hind legs — they looked fearfully like hairy men; their heads down, their bodies inclined forward, their whole appearance like men running for their lives.
