Seite 104 - Nature: no one can stand in these solitudes unmoved, and not feel that there is more in man than the mere breath of his body.
Seite 177 - This ride was my delight I love all waste And solitary places ; where we taste The pleasure of believing what we see Is boundless, as we wish our souls to be : And such was this wide ocean, and this shore More barren than its billows.
Seite 257 - English man of war, lesser in bulk, but lighter in sailing, could turn with all tides, .tack about, and take advantage of all winds, by the quickness of his wit and invention.
