Strana 41 - When the broken arches are black in night, And each shafted oriel glimmers white ; When the cold light's uncertain shower Streams on the ruined central tower ; When buttress and buttress, alternately, Seem framed of ebon and ivory, When silver edges the imagery, And the scrolls that teach thee to live and die...
Strana 273 - Portsmouth, and I say that, excepting immediately under the fire of Dover Castle, there is not a spot on the coast on which infantry might not be thrown on shore at any time of tide, with any wind, and in any weather, and from which such body of infantry, so thrown on shore, would not find within the distance of five miles a road into the interior of the country, through the cliffs, practicable for the march of a body of troops.
Strana 41 - If thou wouldst view fair Melrose aright, Go visit it by the pale moonlight ; For the gay beams of lightsome day Gild, but to flout, the ruins gray. When the broken arches are black in night, And each shafted oriel glimmers white; When the cold light's uncertain shower Streams on the ruined central tower; When buttress and buttress, alternately, Seem framed of ebon and ivory ; When silver edges the imagery, And the scrolls that teach thee to live and die...
Strana 41 - When the cold light's uncertain shower Streams on the ruined central tower; When buttress and buttress, alternately, Seem framed of ebon and ivory ; When silver edges the imagery, And the scrolls that teach thee to live and die ; When distant Tweed is heard to rave, And the owlet to hoot o'er the dead man's grave, Then go— but go alone the while — Then view St. David's ruined pile ; And, home' returning, soothly swear, Was never scene so sad and fair ! II.
Strana 316 - But that in all thine actions I do find Exact propriety : no gusts of mind — Fitful and wild — but that continuous state Of ordered impulse mariners await In some benignant and enriching wind, The breath ordained of Nature. Thy calm mien Recalls old Rome, as much as thy high deed ; Duty thine only Idol, and serene When all are troubled ; in the utmost need Prescient ; thy Country's servant ever seen, Yet sovereign of thyself, whate'er may speed I B.
Strana 274 - I have done more. I have looked at and considered these localities in great detail, and have made up my mind upon the details of their defence. These are questions to which my mind has not been. unaccustomed. I have considered and provided for the defence, the successful defence, of the frontiers of many countries. You are the confidential head of the principal defensive part of the country.
Strana 316 - Not only that thy puissant arm could bind The tyrant of a world; and, conquering Fate, Enfranchise Europe, do I deem thee great; But that in all thy actions I do find Exact propriety: no gusts of mind Fitful and wild, but that continuous state Of ordered impulse mariners await In some benignant and enriching wind, — The breath ordained of Nature.
Strana 68 - HUNT 69 present them in Parliament. They also demanded the adoption of Major Cartwright's Bill. An assemblage of this kind was, in those days, an illegal proceeding, which amounted to an act of treason. The Manchester magistrates, in the exercise of their duty, forthwith issued a proclamation prohibiting the proposed meeting. This was bitterly resented by the demagogues, who determined to hold their meeting notwithstanding all orders to the contrary. The date of the meeting was postponed from August...
Strana 49 - With respect to the idylls of which you have favoured me with copies, they seem to me to have all the merits, and most of the faults, of juvenile compositions. They are fanciful, tender, and elegant, and exhibit both command of language and luxuriance of imagination. " On the other hand, they are a little too wordy, and there is too much the air, to make the most of every thing : too many epithets, and too laboured an attempt to describe minute circumstances. There is a perspective in poetry, as...
Strana 308 - Their intimacy may have given gossips an excuse for scandal ; but I, who knew them both so well, am convinced that the Duke was not her lover. He admired her very much — for she had a manlike sense — but Mrs. Arbuthnot was devoid of womanly passions, and was, above all, a loyal and truthful woman.
