Seite 445 - And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Seite 225 - To carry on the feelings of childhood into the powers of manhood, to combine the child's sense of wonder and novelty wiih the appearances which every day for perhaps forty years has rendered familiar, With sun and moon and stars throughout the year, And man and woman . this is the character and privilege of genius, and one of the marks which distinguish genius from talent.
Seite 250 - The Rosicrucians are a people I must bring you acquainted with. The best account I know of them is in a French book called Le Comte de Gabalis, which both in its title and size is so like a novel, that many of the fair sex have read it for one by mistake.

Seite 355 - Such is the subject of the Institute, And universal body of the law. This study fits a mercenary drudge, Who aims at nothing but external trash; Too servile and illiberal for me. When all is done, divinity is best: Jerome's Bible, Faustus; view it well. (Reads.) "Stipendium peccati mors est." Ha! "Stipendium," etc. The reward of sin is death: that's hard.
Seite 11 - The sun-orb sings, in emulation, 'Mid brother-spheres, his ancient round: His path predestined through Creation, He ends with step of thunder-sound. The angels from his visage splendid Draw power, whose measure none can say; The lofty works, uncomprehended, Are bright as on the earliest day.
Seite 346 - Blest paper-credit ! last and best supply ! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly ! Gold imp'd by thee, can compass hardest things, Can pocket states, can fetch or carry kings ; A single leaf shall waft an army o'er, Or ship off senates to...
