Pagina 692 - Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise (That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights and live laborious days; But the fair guerdon when we hope to find, And think to burst out into sudden blaze, Comes the blind Fury with the abhorred shears, And slits the thin-spun life. 'But not the praise...
Pagina 548 - In the affliction of these terrible dreams That shake us nightly. Better be with the dead, Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace, Than on the torture of the mind to lie In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave; After life's fitful fever he sleeps well; Treason has done his worst: nor steel, nor poison, Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing Can touch him further.
Pagina 567 - The military ideals of hardihood and discipline would be wrought into the growing fibre of the peo-ple ; no one would remain blind as the luxurious classes now are blind, to man's real relations to the globe he lives on, and to the permanently sour and hard founda-tions of his higher life.

On the very brink of the river which divides the known from the unknown, strong arms snatched me from the final plunge, and kind ministrations wooed me back to life.
Pagina 568 - But of Beauty, I repeat again that we saw her there shining in company with the celestial Forms ; and coming to earth we find her here too, shining in clearness through the clearest aperture of sense.
Pagina 679 - Live thou, and of the grain and husk, the grape And ivyberry, choose ; and still depart From death to death thro...
Pagina 415 - I struggled along, my thoughts would revert to the single being on whom my holiest affections centred — my daughter. What a tie was that to bind me to life ! Oh ! could I be restored to her for a single hour, long enough for parting counsel and blessing, it would be joy unspeakable ! Long hours of painful travel were relieved of physical suffering by this absorbing agony of the mind, which, when from my present stand-point I contrast it with the personal calamities of my exile, swells into mountains.
Pagina 675 - The ether is not a fantastic creation of the speculative philosopher; it is as essential to us as the air we breathe.
