Sayfa 36 - Tristram Shandy' is still a greater object of admiration, the man as well as the book : one is invited to dinner, where he dines, a fortnight before. As to the volumes yet published, there is much good fun in them and humour sometimes hit and sometimes missed. Have you read his ' Sermons,' with his own comick figure, from a painting by Reynolds, at the head of them?
Sayfa 309 - I will be candid, (for you seem to be so with me), and avow to you, that till fourscore-andten, whenever the humour takes me, I will write, because I like it; and because I like myself better when I do so. If I do not write much, it is because I cannot.
Sayfa 191 - We take it for a translation; and should believe it to be a true story, if it were not for St.
Sayfa 52 - I have received another of a very different, and inferior kind, (being merely descriptive) much more modern than the former (he says), yet very old too. This too in its way, is extremely fine. In short, this man is the very Daemon of poetry, or he has lighted on a treasure hid for ages.
Sayfa 160 - He is highly civil to our nation ; but there is one point in which he does not do us justice ; I am the more solicitous about it, because it relates to the only taste we can call our own; the only proof of our original talent in matter of pleasure, I mean our skill in gardening, or rather laying out grounds : and this is no small honour to us, since neither Italy nor France have ever had the least notion of it, nor yet do at all comprehend it when they see it. That the Chinese have this beautiful...
Sayfa 2 - Pocock, for he speaks the worst English I ever heard ; Dr. Stukeley, who writes for himself, the very worst person he could write for ; and I, who only read to know if there were anything worth writing, and that not without some difficulty.
Sayfa 253 - I see it with respect, and so will every one, whose poverty is not seated in their mind*. There is but one real evil in it (take my word who know it well), and that is, that you have less the power of assisting others, who have not the same resources to support them.
Sayfa 337 - No, thou villain, thou art full of piety, as shall be proved upon thee by good witness. I am a wise fellow, and, which is more, an officer, and, which is more, a householder, and, which is more, as pretty a piece of flesh as any is in Messina, and one that knows the law, go to ; and a rich fellow enough, go to ; and a fellow that hath had losses, and one that hath two gowns and every thing handsome about him. Bring him away. O that I had been writ down an ass ! [Exeunt.
Sayfa 53 - Sermons,' with his own comick figure, from a painting by Reynolds, at the head of them ? They are in the style I think most proper for the pulpit, and show a strong imagination and a sensible heart ; but you see him often tottering on the verge of laughter, and ready to throw his periwig in the face of the audience.
