Seite 194 - Quid si prisca redit Venus Diductosque jugo cogit aeneo, Si flava excutitur Chloe Rejectaeque patet janua Lydiae?
Seite 74 - From mornin' sun till dine; But seas between us braid hae roar'd Sin auld lang syne . . . where he is as lovely as he is sound. But perhaps it is by the perfection of soundness of his lighter and archer masterpieces that he is poetically most wholesome for us. For the votary misled by a personal estimate of Shelley, as so many of us have been, are, and will be, — of that beautiful spirit building his many-colored haze of words and images Pinnacled dim in the intense inane — no contact can be...
