Pàgina 140 - As I WALKED through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a Den, and I laid me down in that place to sleep: and as I slept I dreamed a dream.
Pàgina 126 - The auburn nut that held thee, swallowing down Thy yet close-folded latitude of boughs And all thine embryo vastness at a gulp.
Pàgina 92 - There is a spot in the churchyard, near the footpath, on the brow of the hill looking towards Windsor, and a tomb under a large tree (bearing the name of Peachie, or Peachey), where I used to sit for hours and hours when a boy. This was my favourite spot...
Pàgina 62 - Another age shall see the golden ear Imbrown the slope, and nod on the parterre, Deep harvest bury all his pride has plann'd, And laughing Ceres reassume the land.
Pàgina 127 - In days of old here Ampthill's towers were seen, The mournful refuge of an injured queen. Here flow'd her pure, but unavailing tears; Here blinded zeal sustain'd her sinking years.

Cobham comes, and floats them with a lake : Or cut wide views through mountains to the plain, You'll wish your hill or shelter'd seat again.

It was made by the Countess of Bedford, esteemed among the greatest wits of her time, and celebrated by Doctor Donne; and with very great care, excellent contrivance, and much cost; but greater sums may be thrown away without effect or honour, if there want sense in proportion to money...
Pàgina 63 - This is the Powell whose rhythmical beating on his forge — one form of the tradition says in accord with a tune he was singing or whistling, the other with the church bells then merrily pealing, — suggested to Handel his charming melody of the Harmonious Blacksmith.* The story is at least doubtful, and it seems certain that Handel did not himself give the air its popular title.
Pàgina 104 - This was Moor Park when I was acquainted with it, and the sweetest place, I think, that I have seen in my life, either before or since, at home or abroad...
Pàgina 242 - So do leave my father to make a second examination of the dirt ; and my mind at rest in it, being but an accident : and so gives me some kind of content to remember how painful it is sometimes to keep money, as well as to get it...
