Pàgina 646 - Your name from hence immortal life shall have, Though I, once gone, to all the world must die : The earth can yield me but a common grave, When you entombed in men's eyes shall lie. Your monument shall be my gentle verse, Which eyes not yet created shall o'er-read ;(45) And tongues to be your being shall rehearse, When all the breathers of this world are dead ; You still shall live, — such virtue hath my pen, — Where breath most breathes — even in the mouths of men.

Pàgina 668 - Also we shall have to reject all the terrible and appalling names which describe the world below— Cocytus and Styx, ghosts under the earth, and sapless shades, and any similar words of which the very mention causes a shudder to pass through the inmost soul of him who hears them. I do not say that these horrible stories may not have a use of some kind...
Pàgina 539 - Lord of creatures all, Thou placer of plants both humble and tall, Was not I planted of thine...
Pàgina 60 - We had a Miss North and a Mr. Gould of our party; the latter walked home with me after tea. He is a very young man, just entered Oxford, wears spectacles, and has heard that "Evelina
Pàgina 50 - All letters, methinks, should be free and easy as one's discourse ; not studied as an oration, nor made up of hard words like a charm.
