Pàgina 205 - O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown! The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword; The expectancy and rose of the fair state, The glass of fashion and the mould of form, The observed of all observers, quite, quite down!
Pàgina 144 - The limits of the sphere of dream, The bounds of true and false, are past. Lead us on, thou wandering gleam, Lead us onward, far and fast, To the wide, the desert waste.

Thus, the very dialogue becomes mixed with the narration; for he must not only tell what the characters actually said, in which his task is the same as that of the dramatic author, but must also describe the tone, the look, the gesture, with which their speech was accompanied, — telling, in short, all which, in the drama, it becomes the province...
Pàgina 295 - Crown Cases reserved for Consideration, and decided by the Twelve Judges of England, from the year 1799 to the year 1824. By William Oldnall Russell, and Edward Ryan, of Lincoln's Inn, Esqrs.
Pàgina 315 - I would give him half England, if he asked for it : till the time be ripe he shall tire of asking ere I tire of giving.
