Seite 97 - All nature is but art unknown to thee; All chance, direction which thou can'st not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good. Heav'n's choice is safer than our own . Of ages past inquire, What the most formidable fate;
Seite 97 - Who lives to nature, rarely can be poor ; Who lives to fancy, never can be rich.
