第236页 - O ! who can hold a fire in his hand By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite By bare imagination of a feast?
第304页 - Truth is always consistent with itself, and needs nothing to help it out ; it is always near at hand, and sits upon our lips, and is ready to drop out before we are aware ; whereas a lie is troublesome, and sets a man 's invention upon the rack,' and' one trick needs a great many more to make it good.
第184页 - They sin who tell us Love can die. With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. In Heaven ambition cannot dwell, Nor avarice in the vaults of Hell ; Earthly these passions of the Earth, They perish where they have their birth ; But Love is indestructible.

In taste, in grace, in facility, in happy invention, and in the richness and harmony of colouring, he was equal to the great masters of the renowned ages.
第411页 - Or fountain some belated peasant sees, Or dreams he sees, while overhead the Moon Sits arbitress and nearer to the Earth Wheels her pale course...
第25页 - I would chiefly recommend, that an implicit obedience to the Rules of Art, as established by the practice of the great MASTERS, should be exacted from the young Students. That those models, .which have passed through the approbation of ages, should be considered by them as perfeet and infallible guides ; as subjects for their imitation, not their criticism.
第89页 - Roused by the prince of air, the whirlwinds sweep The surge, and plunge his father in the deep ; Then full against his Cornish lands they roar, And two rich shipwrecks bless the lucky shore.
