Pàgina 220 - For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

Pàgina 219 - I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Pàgina 162 - He has stretched him quietly down at length, To bask in the starlight his giant strength; And Time shall here a tough morsel find, For his steel-devouring teeth to grind.
Pàgina 162 - Merrily, merrily, let us all sing and make the old telescope rattle and ring. Full fifty years did he laugh at the storm, and the blast could not shake his majestic form. Now prone he lies, where he once stood high and searched the deep heaven with his broad bright eye.
Pàgina xvii - Bacchi munera, non illls epulae nocuere repostae: frondibus et victu pascuntur simplicis herbae, pocula sunt fontes liquid! atque exercita cursu flumina, nee somnos abrumpit cura salubris.
Pàgina 125 - Though now so hollow , dead , and cold ; For in thy form is yet descried The traces left of young Desire , The Painter's art , the Statesman's pride , The Muse's song , the Poet's fire ; But these , forsooth ; now seem to be Mere Bumps on thy Periphery.
