Thoas has conceived a passion for her. Thou sharedst my sorrow when a hostile sword Tore from my side my last, my dearest son ; Long as fierce vengeance occupied my heart, I did not feel my dwellings...
Seite 66 - As a tragedy, criticism makes sad work with it ; but when all is said, the reader thinks of Egmont and Clarchen, and flings criticism to the dogs. These are the figures which remain in the memory : bright, genial, glorious creations, comparable to any to be found in the long galleries of Art.
Seite 203 - ... Camel in its habits ; and returned with a thick volume of facts, arranged without order, expounded without philosophy, but serving as valuable materials for all who came after him.
