Sayfa 10 - It was a barren scene, and wild, Where naked cliffs were rudely piled; But ever and anon between Lay velvet tufts of loveliest green; And well the lonely infant knew Recesses where the wall-flower grew, And honey-suckle loved to crawl Up the low crag and ruined wall.
Sayfa 10 - Down from that strength had spurr'd their horse, Their southern rapine to renew, Far in the distant Cheviots blue, And, home returning, fill'd the hall With revel, wassel-rout, and brawl.
Sayfa 78 - Yet are thy skies as blue, thy crags as wild; Sweet are thy groves, and verdant are thy fields, Thine olive ripe as when Minerva smiled, And still his...
Sayfa 88 - How opposite to this is the system, or the temper, of the great author of Waverley — the only living individual to whom Lord Byron must submit to be ranked as inferior in genius — and still more deplorably inferior in all that makes genius either amiable in itself, or useful to society...

Sayfa 86 - This is the charge which we bring against Lord Byron. We say that, under some strange misapprehension as to the truth, and the duty of proclaiming it, he has exerted all the powers of his powerful mind to convince his readers, both directly and indirectly, that all ennobling pursuits, and disinterested virtues, are mere deceits or illusions — hollow mockeries for the most part, and, at best, but laborious follies.
Sayfa 122 - From its herding together, as the unicorn of the Scriptures is said to do, as well as from the rest of the description, it is evident that it cannot be the rhinoceros, which is a solitary animal; besides, Major Latter states that, in the Thibetian manuscript, the rhinoceros is described under the name of servo, and classed with the elephant ;
