Sayfa 221 - Sexque datis leto diversaque vulnera passis, ultima restabat ; quam toto corpore mater, tota veste tegens, ' Unam minimamque relinque ! de multis minimam posco ' clamavit
Sayfa 232 - The darksome pines that o'er yon rocks reclin'd Wave high, and murmur to the hollow wind, The wand'ring streams that shine between the hills, The grots that echo to the tinkling rills, The dying gales that pant upon the trees, The lakes that quiver to the curling breeze; No more these scenes my meditation aid, Or lull to rest the visionary maid.
Sayfa 232 - But o'er the twilight groves and dusky caves, Long-sounding aisles and intermingled graves, Black Melancholy sits, and round her throws A death-like silence, and a dread repose : Her gloomy presence saddens all the scene, Shades every flower, and darkens every green ; Deepens the murmur of the falling floods, And breathes a browner horror on the woods.
Sayfa 350 - Charles, that is, the qualities which give true sterling value to the man, and sanctify him to the eyes of his Creator — I mean humility, self-command, temperance, industry, prudence and fortitude — were not inferior to his public endowments.

His dress and establishment...

It is from two to seven miles wide, encompassed by mountains generally of a craggy and menacing aspect, but not unfrequently softened by verdure, wood, and cultivation.
Sayfa 377 - ... are equally dangerous. The latter are more frequently experienced in the branch of the lake that terminates at Como than in the other parts, because it has no emissary or outlet, such as the Adda forms at Lecco. The mountains that border the lake are by no means either barren or naked ; their lower regions are generally covered with olives, vines, and orchards; the middle is encircled with groves of...
Sayfa 576 - Noctem addens operi, famulasque ad lumina longo Exercet penso, castum ut servare cubile Coniugis et possit parvos educere natos, Haud secus Ignipotens nec tempore segnior illo Mollibus e stratis opera ad fabrilia surgit.
Sayfa 19 - Sybarites are said to have occupied the neighbouring plain ; the Dorians therefore appear to have the fairest claim to these majestic and everlasting monuments. But at what period were they erected ? To judge from their form we must conclude that they are the oldest specimens of Grecian architecture now in existence. In beholding them, and contemplating their solidity, bordering upon heaviness, we are tempted to consider them as...
Sayfa 632 - But why should the altar be made his footstool ? the altar, the beauty of holiness, the throne of the victim* lamb, the mercy seat of the temple of Christianity ; why should the altar be converted into the footstool of a mortal...
