Pagina 77 - A poet is the most unpoetical of anything in existence, because he has no identity ; he is continually in for, and filling, some other body. The sun, the moon, the sea, and men and women, who are creatures of impulse, are poetical, and have about them an unchangeable attribute ; the poet has none, no identity. He is certainly the most unpoetical of all God's creatures.
Pagina 51 - That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour...

I was never afraid of failure; for I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest.

How silent did his old companions tread, By midnight lamps, the mansions of the dead, Through breathing statues, then unheeded things, Through rows of warriors, and through walks of kings!

Pagina 52 - But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see : and they that have not heard shall understand.
Pagina 506 - By the festal cities blaze, Whilst the wine-cup shines in light ; And yet amidst that joy and uproar Let us think of them that sleep, Full many a fathom deep, By thy wild and stormy steep, Elsinore.
Pagina 509 - The eclipse of Nature spreads my pall, The majesty of Darkness shall Receive my parting ghost ! This spirit shall return to Him "Who gave its heavenly spark ; Yet think not, Sun, it shall be dim When thou thyself art dark ! No ! it shall live again, and shine In bliss unknown to beams of thine, By him recall'd to breath, Who captive led captivity, Who robb'd the grave of Victory, — And took the sting from Death...
Pagina 87 - Singularity - it should strike the Reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a Remembrance - 2nd Its touches of Beauty should never be half way ther[e]by making the reader breathless instead of content: the rise, the progress, the setting of imagery should like the Sun come natural natural too him - shine over him and set soberly although in magnificence leaving him in the Luxury of twilight...
Pagina 85 - Darkness! Darkness! ever must I moan, To question Heaven and Hell and Heart in vain. Why did I laugh?
Pagina 54 - Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you ; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things ; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
