Pagina 23 - All school-days' friendship, childhood innocence? We, Hermia, like two artificial gods, Have with our needles created both one flower, Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion, Both warbling of one song, both in one key; As if our hands, our sides, voices, and minds, Had been incorporate.

Which finds no natural outlet or relief In word, or sigh, or tear.
Pagina 49 - Two Gentlemen of Verona. IF there be anything thoroughly lovely in the human heart it is affection. All that makes hope elevated, or fear generous, belongs to the capacity of loving. For my own part, I do not wonder, in looking over the thousand creeds and sects of men, that so many religionists...
Pagina 61 - ... ihm vorsatzlich diese Form gegeben wurde? *2 "Sentences attributing intentional states or events to systems use idioms that exhibit referential opacity: they introduce clauses in which the normal, permissive, substitution rule does not hold: This rule is simply the logical codification of the maxim that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
