الصفحة 232 - ... draw. For fear but freezes minds ; but love, like heat, Exhales the soul sublime, to seek her native seat. To threats the stubborn sinner oft is hard, Wrapp'd in his crimes, against the storm prepared ; But, when the milder beams of mercy play, He melts, and throws his cumbrous cloak away, Lightning and thunder (heaven's artillery) As harbingers before th' Almighty fly : Those but proclaim his style, and disappear ; 40 The stiller sound succeeds, and God is there.
الصفحة 61 - ... humanized, refined, and blessed our world below, as the high place in man's esteem and tender reverence which the minstrel of the Middle Ages did first assign to them, and the knights of chivalry in brave accord confirm. At the time of my visit attempts were being made to restore the gallery, and indeed anxiety seems awakened to preserve all parts of the castle from further decay- The young Duke of Weimar seems in this to be the chief mover, and a very praiseworthy undertaking it is. His frequent...

She is intrusted with all the household stores ; she brings each traveller his meal, and blesses it ; she brings him his wine-cup, and it is yet the custom, with all old Tyrolers, that she should, at least, put her lips to it. She is always...

The ship he had bought in his own name, and set out at his own charge, upon hopes of great matters, by taking in goods and passengers for the company on the account of freight, and so to be delivered here, but though the lot be cast into the lap, the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord...
الصفحة 97 - Ere, autumn-touched, my green leaves fell : And now they smile, and call me good ; — Perhaps I like that name as well. On beauty bliss depends not ; then Why should I quarrel with old Time ' He marches on : — how vain his power With one whose heart is in its...

الصفحة 389 - Upon a sarcophagus of white marble lay a sheet, and the outline of the human form was plainly visible beneath its folds. The person with me reverently turned it back, and displayed the statue of his queen. It is a portrait statue...

Here was an elderly landlady, a pattern of kind hospitality and motherly propriety, two fair daughters, clean and modest, and a stout and trusty kellerin, with black petticoat of ample folds, and keys enough, in number and size, for the warder of a castle.
