Page 194 - ... thy wandering and distempered child : Thou pourest on him thy soft influences, Thy sunny hues, fair forms, and breathing sweets ; Thy melodies of woods, and winds, and waters ! Till he relent, and can no more endure To be a jarring and a dissonant thing Amid this general dance and minstrelsy ; But, bursting into tears, wins back his way, His angry spirit healed and harmonized By the benignant touch of love and beauty.
Page 191 - Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased ; Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow ; Raze out the written troubles of the brain ; And, with some sweet, oblivious antidote, Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff, Which weighs upon the heart ? Doct.
Page 165 - Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

And when they have been once written down they are tossed about anywhere among those who do and among those who do not...
Page 467 - You taught me language; and my profit on't Is, I know how to curse : The red plague rid you, For learning me your language ! Pro.
Page 463 - Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward man be at one. May I reckon the wise to be the wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as a temperate man and he only can bear and carry.
Page 378 - For Books are not absolutely dead things, but doe contain a potencie of life in them to be as active as that soul* whose progeny they are...
Page 473 - The teacher should not, however, limit his instruction to that which lies within the observation of his pupils. The little plane, valley, or hill in sight may be used to give them glimpses of those vast planes, valleys, and mountains which are found on the earth's surface. Their knowledge of the climate and seasons of their own neighborhood may be made clearer and more definite by lively sketches of the climates and seasons of lands in the torrid and frigid zones. Indeed nearly every fact learned...
Page 463 - I cannot help feeling, Phaedrus, that writing is unfortunately like painting ; for the creations of the painter have the attitude of life, and yet if you ask them a question they preserve a solemn silence. And the same may be said of speeches. You would imagine that they had intelligence, but if you want to know anything and put a question to one of them, the speaker always gives one unvarying answer.
