Strana 182 - MONTANUS. EDUCATION. The striving of modern fashionable education is to make the character impressive ; while the result of good education, though not the aim, would be to make it expressive. There is a tendency in modern education to cover the fingers with rings, and, at the same time, to cut the sinews at the wrist. The worst education which teaches self-denial, is better than the best which teaches every thing else, and not that.
Strana 121 - To found an argument for the value of Christianity on external evidence, and not on the condition of man and the pure idea of God, is to hold up a candle before our eyes that we may better see the stars.
Strana 499 - No, no, we are not thrown down out of the sky like meteoric stones, but are formed by the same laws and gradual processes as all about us, and so are adapted to it all, and it to us. But, no doubt, Collins will fight his way through his present angry element to peace and activity. What employment has he now ? " " He minds his bee-hives. To the few people he ever sees, he talks quaintly and vigorously, I sometimes think, wildly ; but all he says has a strong stamp upon it, and never could pass from...
Strana 157 - Space any thing should be, should have a distinct existence, should be more than nothing ! The thought of an immense abysmal Nothing is awful, only less so than that of All and God : and thus a grain of sand, being a fact, a reality, rises before us into something prodigious, immeasurable, — a fact that opposes and counterbalances the immensity of non-existence.
Strana 92 - An eagle soaring from a tomb ; Or mixed in stainless air to roam Where'er thy billows know the wind, — To make all climes my spirit's home, And leave the woes of all behind ; Or, wandering into worlds that beam Like lamps of hope to human eyes, Wake 'mid delights we now but dream, And breathe the rapture of the skies.
Strana 86 - Mid all their history's long and glorious band, To own the blood of England's peasant seed. Lowly, yet strong, these brown-thatched cabins stand ; And such the spirit of the sons they breed. The cliffs which run behind Steephill, and are continued the whole way from Niton to Eastend, present a barrier of rough and large magnificence. The action of the weather upon the sandstone has produced, towards their over-hanging summits, a rude succession of horizontal ledges, which are frequently rent and...
Strana 87 - With front and storm through countless ages rent ; Of yellow, brown, and red, a thousand dyes On each rough crag and airy ledge are blent. These giant walls a haunt secure have lent And natural dwelling to the ivy's green ; . And none along these rocks their gaze have sent, Nor blest with softened heart its living sheen. Like it, along the steep, man's daily way, All high resolves and gentle feelings climb, Each sympathy that hallows human clay, Impulse of love, and Godward thought sublime. Beyond...
Strana 127 - Every fancy that we would substitute for a reality, is, if we saw aright, and saw the whole, not only false, but every way less beautiful and excellent, than that which we sacrifice to it.
Strana 127 - To wish that others should learn by our experience is sometimes as idle as to think that we can eat and they be filled. But when we find that we have ate poison, it is doubtless mercy to warn them against the dish.
