Too much of fame Had shed its radiance on thy peasant name ; And bought alone by gifts beyond all price— The trusting heart's repose, the paradise Of home, with all its loves — doth fate allow The crown of glory unto woman's brow.
Strana 204 - Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? " Who shall dwell in Thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh the truth in his heart.

Hence men are often captives of a face, They know not why, of no peculiar grace: Some forms, though bright, no mortal man can bear, Some, none resist, though not exceeding fair.
Strana 131 - Radiant daughter of the sun ! Now thy living wreath is won. Crown'd of Rome! — Oh! art thou not Happy in that glorious lot? — Happier, happier far than thou, With the laurel on thy brow, She that makes the humblest hearth Lovely but to one on earth ! THE RUIN.
Strana 31 - But if we consider the envious man in delight, it is like reading of the seat of a giant in a romance ; the magnificence of his house consists in the many limbs of men whom he has slain. If any who promised themselves success in any uncommon undertaking miscarry in the attempt, or he that aimed at what would have been useful and laudable, meets with contempt and derision, the envious man, under the colour of hating vainglory, can smile with an inward wantonness of heart at the ill effect it may have...
Strana 15 - When accompanying two beautiful young ladies with their mother on a tour in France, he was seriously angry that more attention was paid to them than to him; and once at the exhibition of the Fantoccini in London, when those who sat next him observed with what dexterity a puppet was made to toss a pike, he could not bear that it should have such praise, and exclaimed with some warmth, < Pshaw!
