Pągina 340 - His ideal of my future, — now entirely formed in conviction of my genius, — was that I should enter at college into the best society, take all the prizes every year, and a double first to finish with ; marry Lady Clara Vere de Vere; write poetry as good as Byron's, only pious ; preach sermons as good as Bossuet's, only Protestant ; be made, at forty, Bishop of Winchester, and at fifty, Primate of England.
Pągina 44 - The differences of primal importance which I observed between the nature of this garden, and that of Eden, as I had imagined it, were, that, in this one, all the fruit was forbidden ; and there were no companionable beasts...

Pągina 3 - Corinthians, the Sermon on the Mount, and most of the Apocalypse, every syllable by heart, and having always a way of thinking with myself what words meant, it was not possible for me, even in the foolishest times of youth, to write entirely superficial or formal English...
Pągina 197 - I went down that evening from the garden- terrace of SchafFhausen with my destiny fixed in all of it that was to be sacred and useful. To that terrace, and the shore of the Lake of Geneva, my heart and faith return to this day, in every impulse that is yet nobly alive in them, and every thought that has in it help or peace.
Pągina 62 - My parents were - in a sort - visible powers of nature to me, no more loved than the sun and the moon: only I should have been annoyed and pu/zled if either of them had gone out; (how much, now, when both are darkened!) - still less did I love God; not that I had any quarrel with Him, or fear of Him; but simply found what people told me was His service, disagreeable; and what people told me was His book, not entertaining. I had no companions...
Pągina 353 - British history, met every morning a congregation representing the best of what Britain had become, — orderly, as the crew of a manof-war, in the goodly ship of their temple.
