Seite 658 - I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chapfallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that. Prithee, Horatio, tell me one thing. Hor. What's that, my lord? Ham. Dost thou think Alexander looked o' this fashion i
Seite 626 - They generally terminate in some singular form. Some have a huge rounded mass reclining on their summit, which appears scarcely broad enough to poise it; others have a more regular mass laid upon them, like the astragal of a Doric pillar ; others assume the form of inverted pyramids, increasing in breadth as they shoot higher into the air. Occasionally they present a still more singular appearance ; for, after tapering in a conical form to a certain elevation, they begin to dilate again as they rise...
Seite 626 - ... bank. One narrow block, on the very summit, projects into the air. Perched on this, not on, but beyond, the brink of this precipice, you command a prospect which, in its kind, is unique in Europe. You hover on the pinnacle, at an elevation of more than 60O feet above the Elbe, which sweeps round the bottom of the precipice.
Seite 626 - Konigstein is artificial, for it has long been a fortress, and, from the strength of its situation, is still a virgin one. Besides these, the giants of the territory, the plain is studded with many other columnar eminences of the same general character, though on a smaller scale, and they all bear, from time immemorial, their particular legends — for the mountains of Saxony and Bohemia are the native country of taletelling tradition, the cradle of Gnomes and Kobolds. In the deep rents and gloomy...
Seite 626 - From the farther bank, the plain gradually elevates itself into an irregular amphitheatre, terminated by a lofty, but rounded, range of mountains. The striking feature is, that, in the bosom of this amphitheatre, a plain of the most varied beauty, huge columnar hills start up at once from the ground, at great distances from each other, overlooking, in lonely and solemn grandeur, each its own portion of the domain. They are monuments which the Elbe has left standing to commemorate his triumph over...
Seite 648 - At his advanced age, which has now reached its eighty-first year, exposed to be stared at as a lion, and made frequently to pay the forfeit of his celebrity, by submitting to the impertinent intrusions of the idle and the curious, it is no matter of surprise that Goethe should appear to have some bizarrerie in his manners. At half-past ten precisely, Goethe made his appearance in one of his classically decorated withdrawing rooms, into which I had been but the moment before introduced.
Seite 626 - In one place the walls are not more than four feet asunder. Some huge blocks, in their course from the summit, have been jammed in between them, and form a natural roof, beneath which you must creep along, above the brook, on planks, if the brook be small, or wading in water, if it be swollen ; for the rivulet occupies the whole space between the walls in this narrow passage, which goes under the name of
Seite 207 - Rebecca, and made them heirs of thy promise ; give thy blessing unto these thy servants, and guide them in every good work : For thou art the merciful God, the lover of mankind, and to thee we offer up our praise now and for ever, even unto ages of ages.
Seite 208 - Thy servant, , and thy handmaiden, , and establish and make firm their betrothal, in faith and in oneness of mind, in truth and in love. For Thou, O Lord, hast declared that a pledge should be given and confirmed...
Seite 649 - ... thought proper to omit. No doubt, the choice of expressions in the English translation, the versification, and talent displayed in what is original composition of his lordship's own well-gifted mind, may be deserving of his countrymen's applause ; but it is as the author of Faustus travesti, and not as the translator of Goethe's Faustus, that the popular applause has been obtained.
