Sida 467 - And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home. Heaven lies about us in our infancy ! Shades of the prison house begin to close Upon the growing boy, But he beholds the light and whence it flows, He sees it in his joy ; The Youth, who daily further from the East Must travel, still is Nature's priest, And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended ; At length the man perceives it die away, And fade into the light of common day.
Sida 93 - He spoke, and awful bends his sable brows, Shakes his ambrosial curls, and gives the nod, The stamp of fate, and sanction of the god : High Heaven with trembling the dread signal took, And all Olympus to the centre shook.
Sida 318 - And lodges, where it lights, in man or beast ; Or hunts without, till ready limbs it find, And actuates those according to their kind ; From tenement to tenement is tossed ; The soul is still the same...

Sida 160 - ... the immortality of the soul, as typified by the concealment of corn sown in the earth, by its revival in the green blade, and by its full ripeness in the golden harvest ; or, as the same idea was otherwise expressed, by the abduction of Proserpine, the daughter of Ceres, to the region of darkness, in order that she might pass six months beneath the earth, and then arise again to spend an equal time in the realms of light and joy. Above all, they were invited to view the spectacle of that happy...
Sida 346 - Virtue of mind, as well as strength of body, is chiefly to be acquired by exercise and habit. Nothing can be accomplished without labour, and every thing may be accomplished with it. Even the contempt of pleasure may, by the force of habit, become pleasant. All things belong to wise men, to whom the gods are friends. The ranks of society originate from the vices and follies of mankind, and are therefore to be despised.
Sida 318 - The soul is still the same, the figure only lost : And as the softened wax new seals receives, This face assumes, and that impression leaves ; Now called by one, now by another name, The form is only changed, the wax is still the same: So death, so called, can but the form deface ; } The immortal soul flies out in empty space, [ To seek her fortune in some other place.
Sida 115 - Greek legend, a monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon.
