Seite 123 - O, for a muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention ! A kingdom for a stage, princes to act, And monarchs to behold the swelling scene !

Seite 171 - READING is to the mind what exercise is to the body. As by the one health is preserved, strengthened, and invigorated ; by the other virtue, which is the health of the mind, is kept alive, cherished, and confirmed.
Seite 261 - Dear Mr. Bickerstaff," says he, shaking me by the hand, " every body knows you to be a judge of these things : and to tell you truly, I read over Roscommon's translation of ' Horace's Art of Poetry* three several times, before I sat down to write the sonnet which I have shown you.

Ned is indeed a true English reader, incapable of relishing the great and masterly strokes of this art ; but wonderfully pleased with the little Gothic ornaments of epigrammatical conceits, turns, points, and quibbles, which are so frequent in the most admired of our English poets...
