Стр. 15 - In my mind, the highest of all poetry is ethical poetry, as the highest of all earthly objects must be moral truth.
Стр. 120 - And therefore it was ever thought to have some participation of divineness, because it doth raise and erect the mind, by submitting the shows of things to the desires of the mind ; whereas reason doth buckle and bow the mind unto the nature of things.
Стр. 201 - On all the petall'd flowers that sit beneath In hiding-places from the rain and snow, To loosen the hard soil, and leave their cold Sad idlesse, and betake them up to him.

Стр. 6 - For magic that is more its own ; But still my Father's looks remain The best Maecenas of my strain ; My gentlest joy, upon his brow To read the smile, that...
Стр. 200 - EARTH. How beautiful is earth! my starry thoughts Look down on it from their unearthly sphere, And sing symphonious — Beautiful is earth! The lights and shadows of her myriad hills; The branching greenness of her myriad woods : Her sky-affecting rocks ; her zoning sea ; Her rushing, gleaming cataracts; her streams That race below, the winged clouds on high; Her pleasantness of vale and meadow! — Hush...
Стр. 202 - Sod idlesse, and betake them up to him. They straightway hear his voice — A thought did come, And press from out my soul the heathen dream. Mine eyes were purged. Straightway did I bind SO Round me the garment of my strength, and heard Nature's death-shrieking — the hereafter cry, When he o...
