Pagina 141 - Serus enim Graecis admovit acumina chartis, Et post Punica bella quietus quaerere coepit, Quid Sophocles et Thespis et Aeschylus utile ferrent.
Pagina 220 - And portance in my travel's history; Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle, Rough quarries, rocks, and hills whose heads touch heaven, It was my hint to speak, — such was the process: And of the Cannibals that each other eat, The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads Do grow beneath their shoulders.
Pagina xxxi - My own hope is, a sun will pierce The thickest cloud earth ever stretched ; That, after Last, returns the First, Though a wide compass round be fetched ; That what began best, can't end worst, Nor what God blessed once, prove accurst.
Pagina 32 - No poet (as I ventured to say at first to your Lordship) can do anything great in his own way without the imagination or supposition of a divine presence, which may raise him to some degree of this passion we are speaking of.

Pagina 176 - ... moral : a series of deep reflections drawn from one mouth, upon the subject of one single accident and calamity, naturally fitted to move horror and compassion. It may be properly said of this play, if I mistake not, that it has only one character or principal part. It contains no adoration or flattery of the...
Pagina 260 - Thus if one person were decreed to suffer for another's fault, the sentence would be just and equitable. And thus, in the same manner, if arbitrarily, and without reason, some beings were destined to endure perpetual ill, and others as constantly to enjoy good, this also would pass under the same denomination. But to say of anything that it is just or unjust, on such a foundation as this, is to say nothing, or to speak without a meaning.
Pagina 90 - A painter, if he has any genius, understands the truth and unity of design ; and knows he is even then unnatural when he follows Nature too close, and strictly copies Life.
