Every other author may aspire to praise; the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach, and even this negative recompense...
215. oldal - ... influence upon the sum of life, it has little operation in the dramas of a poet who caught his ideas from the living world, and exhibited only what he saw before him. He knew that any other passion, as it was regular or exorbitant, was a cause of happiness or calamity. Characters thus ample and general were not easily discriminated and preserved, yet perhaps no poet ever kept his personages more distinct from each other.
220. oldal - ... is probably to be sought in the common intercourse of life, among those who speak only to be understood, without ambition of elegance.
