The delight of my boyhood, the study of my manhood, perhaps (if allowed to me to attain it) he may be the consolation of my age. His poetry is the Book of Life.
Seite 101 - Of shallow brooks that flow'd so clear, The bottom did the top appear; Of deeper too and ampler floods, Which, as in mirrors, show'd the woods; Of lofty trees, with sacred shades, And perspectives of pleasant glades, Where nymphs of brightest form appear, And shaggy satyrs standing near, Which them at once admire and fear.
Seite 157 - That light we see is burning in my hall ; how far that little candle throws its beams, so shines a good deed in a naughty world...
