Strana 216 - in a costly jar, which should have borne only pleasant flowers in its bosom ; the roots expand, the jar is shivered. "A lovely, pure, noble and most moral nature, without the strength of nerve which forms a hero, sinks beneath a burden which it cannot bear and must not cast away.
Strana 191 - ... birth/ had in him been unfolded simultaneously. He was a prince/ by birth a prince; and he wished to reign/ only that good men might be good without obstruction. Pleasing in form/ polished by nature/ courteous from the heart/ he was meant to be the pattern of youth and the joy of the world. Without any prominent passion/ his love for Ophelia was a still presentiment of sweet wants. His zeal in knightly accomplishments was not entirely his own; it needed to be quickened and inflamed by praise...
Strana 216 - Figure to yourselves this youth," cried he, " this son of princes ; conceive him vividly, bring his state before your eyes, and then observe him when he learns that his father's spirit walks; stand by him in the terrors of the night, when the venerable ghost itself appears before him.

Strana 125 - where didst thou get the little song ? " — ' ' Italy ! ' ' said Mignon, with an earnest air. "If thou go to Italy, take me along with thee ; for I am too cold here.
Strana iv - WHETHER it be that the quantity of genius among ourselves and the French, and the number of works more lasting than brass produced by it, have of late been so considerable as to make us independent of additional supplies ; or that, in our ancient aristocracy of intellect, we disdain to be assisted by the Germans, whom, by a species of...
Strana 190 - I next went through the entire piece, without interruption ; but here, too, I found much that I could not away with. At one time the- characters, at another time the manner of displaying them, seemed inconsistent ; and I almost despaired of finding any general tint, in which I might present my whole part with all its shadings and variations. In such devious paths I toiled and wandered long in vain, till at length a hope arose that I might reach my aim in quite a new way. " I set about investigating...
Strana 247 - She looked at him with a wild indifference ; and drew back \ some steps as he offered her his hand. " Tis of no moment !" cried she: "so many women's tears more or fewer; the ocean will not swell by reason of them. And yet...
Strana 248 - I accept it then," said she, and made a movement with her right hand, as if meaning to take hold of his: but instantly she darted it into her pocket, pulled out her dagger quick as lightning, and scored with the edge and point of it across his hand. He hastily drew back his arm, but the blood was already running down.
