Pagina 77 - Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! — For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.

Pagina xxxvi - haec nemora indigenae Fauni Nymphaeque tenebant gensque virum truncis et duro robore nata, 315 quis neque mos neque cultus erat, nee iungere tauros aut componere opes norant aut parcere parto, sed rami atque asper victu venatus alebat.
Pagina 34 - Virgil clearly follows the Roman tradition and makes Philomela the nightingale. A later writer, however, speaks of Philomela as the swallow, " who, trustful bird that she is, hangs her nest in the homes of men." Virgil has the swallows in mind in the two graceful lines : Evandrum ex humili tecto lux suscitât alma Et matutini volucrum sub culmine cantus. — Aen. viii, 455. Both birds were thought of as harbingers of spring, like the robin and bluebird in our own Eastern States. For the nightingale...

Pagina 70 - DAWN is dim on the dark soft water, Soft and passionate, dark and sweet. Love's own self was the deep sea's daughter, Fair and flawless from face to feet, Hailed of all when the world was golden, Loved of lovers whose names beholden Thrill men's eyes as with light of olden Days more glad than their flight was fleet. So they sang : but for men that love her, Souls that hear...
Pagina xxxii - He, more than any other poet, has been a part of the intellectual life of Europe, alike by length of sway and by the multitude of minds he touched in all generations.
Pagina 33 - Let us examine this in some detail. First there is the well-known myth of Philomela and Progne. In nearly all Greek writers Philomela is the swallow, and Progne the nightingale. In this connection we should note that they are sisters, the daughters of Pandion. In nearly all Roman writers these names are reversed, which, again, was a constant source of the confusion. In the sixth Eclogue of Virgil, Philomela seems best taken as the swallow, following the Greek tradition. Yet the ambiguity of the whole...
