Seite 9 - And, seeing ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven, Unless you be possess'd with devilish spirits, You cannot but forbear to murder me.
Seite 9 - Nature in turn conceived, obeying an impulse as I; And the emulous heaven yearned down, made effort to reach the earth, As the earth had done her best, in my passion, to...
Seite 189 - a son of the forest, a man of the backwoods, a dweller in unquiet and uncouth country, and his songs are accordingly saturated with the strange fitful music of waste, broken-up places.
