Strana 38 - s holiness. Nay then, farewell! I have touch'd the highest point of all my greatness; And from that full meridian of my glory, I haste now to my setting: I shall fall Like a bright exhalation in the evening, And no man see me more.
Strana 41 - HILL, in this parish, received its name from the box trees planted on the south side of it, by the earl of Arundel, in the reign of Charles I. but the north part is covered with yews. These groves are interspersed with a number of little green spots and agreeable walks. From the highest part of this hill, in a clear day, is a prospect over part of Kent and Surrey, and the whole of Sussex, quite to the South Downs, near the sea, at the distance of thirty-six miles.
Strana 65 - E'en now, where Alpine solitudes ascend, I sit me down a pensive hour to spend ; And plac'd on high above the storm's career, Look downward where an hundred realms appear; Lakes, forests, cities, plains extending wide, The pomp of kings, the shepherd's humbler pride.
Strana 8 - This was the first blood spilt in that fatal quarrel which was not finished in less than a course of thirty years, which was signalized by twelve pitched battles, which opened a scene of extraordinary fierceness and cruelty, is computed to have cost the lives of eighty princes of the blood, and almost entirely annihilated the ancient nobility of England.
Strana 68 - About a yard from the ground, where its rough fluted stem is thirty-six feet in circumference, it divides into eleven vast arms, yet not in the horizontal manner of an oak, but rather in that of a beech.
Strana 58 - Continuing your way from the last mentioned building, toward the palace near the banks of the lake, stands the Temple of Arethusa, a small Ionic building of four columns. It was designed and built by me, in 1758. Near it is a bridge, thrown over a narrow channel of water, and leading to the island in the lake. The design is, in a great measure, taken from one of Palladio's wooden bridges : it was erected in one night.
Strana 134 - Littleton had not long been returned from Ireland, and frequently had been seized with suffocating fits: he was attacked several times by them in the course of the preceding month, while he was at his house in Hill Street, Berkeley Square. It happened that he dreamt, three days before his death, that he saw a fluttering bird, and afterwards that a Woman appeared to him in white apparel, and said to him, ' Prepare to die ; you will not exist three days.
Strana 71 - Forest is a certain territory of woody grounds and fruitful pastures, privileged for wild beasts and fowls of Forest, Chase and Warren, to rest and abide in, in the safe protection of the King, for his princely delight and pleasure...
Strana 154 - I had a prospect more extensive than any of these, and which surpassed them at once in rural charms, pomp, and magnificence — the hill which I speak of is called Leith hill, and is situate about six miles south of Dorking.
