Página 43 - Learn to make a right use of your eyes : the commonest things are worth looking at — even stones and weeds, and the most familiar animals.
Página 102 - Great wits sometimes may gloriously offend, And rise to faults true critics dare not mend ; From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part, And suatch a grace beyond the reach of art, Which, without passing through the judgment, gains The heart, and all its end at once attains.
Página 198 - For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron : I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
