162. oldal - In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays; Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know, That life protracted is protracted woe. Time hovers o'er, impatient to destroy, And shuts up all the passages of joy: In vain their gifts the bounteous seasons pour, The fruit autumnal, and the vernal...
242. oldal - I shall complete it; but this was my notion: I meant to have made him a Cavalier Servente\ in Italy, and a cause for a divorce in England, and a Sentimental 'Wertherfaced man...
318. oldal - I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
