Pàgina 324 - Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, Although she knows my days are past the best, Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue: On both sides thus is simple truth suppress'd.
Pàgina 339 - Unarm, Eros ; the long day's task is done, And we must sleep.
Pàgina 343 - If they had swallow'd poison, 'twould appear By external swelling : but she looks like sleep, As she would catch another Antony In her strong toil of grace.
Pàgina 528 - La conduite de Dieu, qui dispose toutes choses avec douceur, est de mettre la religion dans l'esprit par les raisons, et dans le cœur par la grâce. Mais de la vouloir mettre dans l'esprit et dans le cœur par la force et par les menaces, ce n'est pas y mettre la religion, mais la terreur, terrorem potius quam religionem.
Pàgina 334 - Upon a tawny front : his captain's heart, Which in the scuffles of great fights hath burst The buckles on his breast, reneges all temper, And is become the bellows and the fan To cool a gipsy's lust.

Pàgina 543 - Unduped of fancy, henceforth man Must labour! — must resign His all too human creeds, and scan Simply the way divine!
Pàgina 323 - Antony and Cleopatra is by far the most wonderful. There is not one in which he has followed history so minutely, and yet there are few in which he impresses the notion of angelic strength so much ; — perhaps none in which he impresses it more stroagly. This is greatly owing to the manner in which the fiery force is sustained throughout, and to the numerous momentary flashes of nature counteracting the historic abstraction.
Pàgina 334 - Let Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch Of the rang'd empire fall ! Here is my space. Kingdoms are clay ; our dungy earth alike Feeds beast as man ; the nobleness of life Is to do thus ; when such a mutual pair Embracing, And such a twain can do 't, in which I bind, On pain of punishment, the world to weet We stand up peerless.
