Pàgina 168 - ... such knowledge of Greek literature as I possess has been of enormous value and interest to me ; that for the last ten years at least, hardly a day has passed on which Greek poetry has not occupied a large part of my thoughts, hardly one deep or valuable emotion has come into my life which has not been either caused, or interpreted, or bettered by Greek poetry.
Pàgina 379 - If robbers plundered or burned the fanes, He hung them in chaplets, like rosaries, That others beholding might take more pains ! There was none to women more reverent-minded, For he held his mother, and Mary, dear ; If any man wronged them, that man he blinded, Or straight amerced him of hand or ear.
