Strana 333 - Or ounce, or tiger, hog, or bearded goat, All other parts remaining as they were ; And they, so perfect is their misery, Not once perceive their foul disfigurement, But boast themselves more comely than before ; And all their friends and native home forget, To roll with pleasure in a sensual sty.
Strana 436 - But bringing up the rear of this bright host A Spirit of a different aspect waved His wings, like thunder-clouds above some coast Whose barren beach with frequent wrecks is paved ; His brow was like the deep when tempest-tossed ; Fierce and unfathomable thoughts engraved Eternal wrath on his immortal face, And where he gazed a gloom pervaded space.
Strana 217 - Shiloh, and her sect, Are things which in this century don't strike The public mind, — so few are the elect; And the new births of both their stale virginities...

Overflowing with words, and not poor in thought. Liberal in opinion, but no radical. He seems a correct as well as a full man. He showed a minute knowledge of subjects not introduced by himself.
Strana 482 - He (Landor) was a man of florid complexion, with large full eyes, and altogether a leonine man and with a fierceness of tone well suited to his name ; his decisions being confident, and on all subjects, whether of taste or life, unqualified, each standing for itself, not caring whether it was in harmony with what had gone before or would follow from the same oracular lips.
Strana 247 - Monkhouse's (a gentleman I had never seen before), on Wordsworth's invitation, who lives there whenever he comes to town. A singular party ; Coleridge, Rogers, Wordsworth and wife, Charles Lamb (the hero, at present, of the " London Magazine ") and his sister (the poor woman who went mad with him in the diligence on the way to Paris), and a Mr.
