Seite 123 - I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

Seite 189 - The storm has gone over me ; and I lie like one of those old oaks which the late hurricane has scattered about me. I am stripped of all my honours, I am torn up by the roots, and lie prostrate on the earth ! There, and prostrate there, I most unfeignedly recognize the Divine justice, and in some degree submit to it.
Seite 40 - But the communication of pleasure may be the immediate object of a work not metrically composed ; and that object may have been in a high degree attained, as in novels and romances.
Seite 137 - ... be under the general law is great, for that is to correspond with it. The master knows that he is unspeakably great, and that all are unspeakably great— that nothing, for instance, is greater than to conceive children, and bring them up well— that to be is just as great as to perceive or tell. In the make of the great masters the idea of political liberty is indispensable.
