עמוד 156 - All this long eve, so balmy and serene, Have I been gazing on the western sky, And its peculiar tint of yellow green : And still I gaze — and with how blank an eye ! And those thin clouds above, in flakes and bars, That give away their motion to the stars...
עמוד 156 - What, and wherein it doth exist, This light, this glory, this fair luminous mist, This beautiful and beauty-making power.
עמוד 2 - O ! the one life within us and abroad, Which meets all motion and becomes its soul, A light in sound, a sound-like power in light, Rhythm in all thought, and joyance everywhere ! Methinks, it should have been impossible Not to love all things in a world so fill'd, Where the breeze warbles and the mute still air Is Music slumbering on her instrument...
עמוד 254 - I turn from you, and listen to the wind, Which long has raved unnoticed. What a scream Of agony by torture lengthened out That lute sent forth! Thou Wind, that rav'st without, Bare crag, or mountain-tairn, or blasted tree, Or pine-grove whither woodman never clomb, Or lonely house, long held the witches...
עמוד 149 - She is : my eyes Are open to her falsehood ; my whole life Has been a golden dream of love and friendship. But, now I wake, I'm like a merchant, roused From soft repose, to see his vessel sinking, And all his wealth cast o'er.
עמוד 93 - O zarte Sehnsucht, süßes Hoffen! Der ersten Liebe goldne Zeit! Das Auge sieht den Himmel offen, es schwelgt das Herz in Seligkeit. O daß sie ewig grünen bliebe, die schöne Zeit der jungen Liebe! Wie sich schon die Pfeifen bräunen! Dieses Stäbchen tauch' ich ein: sehn wir's überglast erscheinen, wird's zum Gusse zeitig sein.
עמוד 119 - It thrives through pain, its own tormentors tires, And with a stubborn patience still aspires. To what can reason such effects assign, Transcending nature, but to laws divine...
עמוד 42 - In many ways does the full heart reveal The presence of the love it would conceal ; But in far more the estranged heart lets know The absence of the love, which yet it fain would show.
עמוד 61 - Congreve's wit. What is this talk? replies a friend, And where will this dry moral end? The truth of what you here lay down By some example should be shown. — With all my heart, — for once; read on. An honest, but a simple pair (And twenty other I forbear) May serve to make this thesis clear.
