Sida 33 - Sound needed none, Nor any voice of joy ; his spirit drank The spectacle : sensation, soul, and form All melted into him ; they swallowed up His animal being ; in them did he live, And by them did he live ; they were his life. In such access of mind, in such high hour Of visitation from the living God, Thought was not ; in enjoyment it expired.
Sida 409 - What needs my Shakespeare for his honoured bones, The labour of an age in piled stones, Or that his hallowed relics should be hid Under a star-ypointing pyramid? Dear son of memory, great heir of Fame, What need'st thou such weak witness of thy name? Thou in our wonder and astonishment Hast built thyself a livelong monument.
Sida 109 - And wear thou this" — she solemn said, And bound the Holly round my head : The polish'd leaves, and berries red, Did rustling play ; And, like a passing thought, she fled In light away.
Sida 46 - Oh, sir, the good die first, And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust Burn to the socket.

Sida 19 - Urania,* I shall need Thy guidance, or a greater Muse, if such Descend to earth or dwell in highest heaven ! For I must tread on shadowy ground, must sink Deep — and, aloft ascending, breathe in worlds To which the heaven of heavens is but a veil...

Sida 195 - Science then Shall be a precious visitant ; and then, And only then, be worthy of her name. For then her heart shall kindle ; her dull eye, Dull and inanimate, no more shall hang Chained to its object in brute slavery ; But taught with patient interest to watch The processes of things, and serve the cause Of order and distinctness...
Sida 154 - But, above all, the victory is most sure For him, who, seeking faith by virtue, strives To yield entire submission to the law Of conscience — conscience reverenced and obeyed, As God's most intimate presence in the soul, And his most perfect image in the world.
Sida 80 - It seemed the home of poverty and toil. Though not of want: the little fields, made green By husbandry of many thrifty years, Paid cheerful tribute to the moorland house. —There crows the cock, single in his domain : The small birds find in spring no thicket there To shroud them ; only from the neighbouring vales The cuckoo, straggling up to the hill tops, Shouteth faint tidings of some gladder place.
