Strana 384 - Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just; And he but naked, though locked up in steel, Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted. Conscience makes cowards of us all.—ShaTcspeare. Conscience is a dangerous thing, it makes a man a coward ; a man can not steal, but it accuseth him; a man can not swear,
Strana 304 - Though there is no natural affinity between sound and motion, yet in the imagination they are closely connected, as appears from the relation subsisting between music and dancing. Long syllables naturally give the impression of slow and difficult motion, as in these lines of Pope:— " A needless Alexandrine ends the song; That, like a wounded snake, drags
Strana 407 - The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of" their spears was like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep
Strana 323 - storm, Icing the pole, or in the torrid clime Dark-heaving;—boundless, endless, and sublime, The image of Eternity—the throne Of the invisible ; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone."—BYRON.
Strana 236 - :— " There is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the grass, Or night-dews on still waters between walls Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass ; Music that gentlier on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.
Strana 183 - neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha ha! and he smelleth the battle afar off." The description of the leviathan is worked up in the same book with fine effect:— " Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook ? or his tongue with
Strana 91 - MISCELLANEOUS.—Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook, or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down —When saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee —When saw we thee an hungered, and did not minister unto thee or athirst or a stranger or naked
Strana 250 - yield my body to the earth, And, by my fall, the conquest to my foe. Thus yields the cedar to the axe's edge, Whose arms gave shelter to the princely eagle; Under whose shade the ramping lion slept; Whose top-branch overpowered Jove's spreading tree. And kept low shrubs from winter's powerful wind.
Strana 324 - It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul— Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars! It is the cause.—Yet I'll not shed her blood; Nor sear that whiter skin of hers than snow, And smooth as monumental
Strana 323 - Thou glorious mirror, where the Almighty'* form Glasses itself in tempests; in all time, Calm or convulsed—in breeze, or gale, or storm, Icing the pole, or in the torrid clime Dark-heaving;—boundless, endless, and sublime, The image of Eternity—the throne Of the invisible ; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone."—BYRON.
