Página 307 - The design of this poem," says Sir EB Lytton, in a prefatory note, " is that of a picture. It is intended to portray the great patriot poet in the three cardinal divisions of life — youth, manhood, and age.

Página 313 - Has this dull earth a being to compare With those which genius kindles ? — Can the sun Show his young bard a living shape as fair • As those which haunt his sleep ? — Yea, there is one Brighter than aught which fancy forms most dear — Brighter than love's wild dream ; and lo ! behold her here ! She was a stranger from the southern sky, And wandering from the friends with whom she rov'd Along those classic gardens — chanced to stray By the green beech-tree where the minstrel lay.
Página 256 - Yet, in the whole, who paused to look again, Saw more than marks the crowd of vulgar men; They gaze and marvel how - and still confess That thus it is, but why they cannot guess.
Página 328 - All nature was a treasury which their hearts Rifled and coin'd in passion ; the soft grass, The bee's blue palace in the violet's bell ; The sighing leaves which, as the day departs, The light breeze stirreth with a gentle swell ; The stiller boughs blent in one emerald mass, Whence, rarely floating liquid eve along, Some unseen linnet sent its vesper song ; All furnish'd them with images and words, And thoughts which spoke not, but lay hush'd like prayer ; Their love made life one melody, like birds,...
Página 32 - I'll be your guide ! dismiss your fears. " With Hampden's name and memory warm you ! '' And, d — n you all — but I'll reform you !
