Strana 722 - For swift descent ; with him the cohort bright Of watchful Cherubim ; four faces each Had, like a double Janus ; all their shape Spangled with eyes more numerous than those...
Strana 823 - But this is certain, that a noble writer should be born with this faculty in its full strength and vigour, so as to be able to receive lively ideas from outward objects, to retain them long, and to range them together, upon occasion, in such figures and representations, as are most likely to hit the fancy of the reader.
