Popular passages
Page 333 - ... the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of production and of traffic in states.
Page 47 - Fame is no plant that grows on mortal soil, Nor in the glistering foil Set off to the world, nor in broad rumour lies, But lives and spreads aloft by those pure eyes And perfect witness of all-judging Jove; As he pronounces lastly on each deed, Of so much fame in heaven expect thy meed.
Page 474 - We have but faith : we cannot know; For knowledge is of things we see ; And yet we trust it comes from thee, A beam in darkness : let it grow.
Page 84 - Is not a patron, My Lord, one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help?

Page 480 - Ma foi, j'ai à dire... Je ne sais que dire; car vous tournez les choses d'une manière, qu'il semble que vous avez raison; et cependant il est vrai que vous ne l'avez pas.
Page 438 - But it was not a happy day for me ; I was dejected on many accounts ; when I looked back upon the performance, it seemed to have a dead weight about it, — the reality so far short of the expectation. It was the first long labour that I had finished ; and the doubt whether I should ever live to write The Recluse, and the sense which I had of this poem being so far below what I seemed capable of executing, depressed me much...
Page 48 - For my part I had rather be damned with Plato and Lord Bacon, than go to Heaven with Paley and Malthus.
