Seite 240 - Plainness and clearness without shadow of stain! Clearness divine! Ye Heavens, whose pure dark regions have no sign Of languor, though so calm, and though so great Are yet untroubled and unpassionate: Who though so noble share in the world's toil, And though so task'd keep free from dust and soil...
Seite 100 - I now had opinions; a creed, a doctrine, a philosophy; in one among the best senses of the word, a religion; the inculcation and diffusion of which could be made the principal outward purpose of a life.
