Сторінка 78 - Little remains : but every hour is saved From that eternal silence, something more, A bringer of new things ; and vile it were For some three suns to store and hoard myself, And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge, like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
Сторінка 30 - When the centuries behind me like a fruitful land reposed ; When I clung to all the present for the promise that it closed: When I...
Сторінка 104 - I have often said, and oftener think, that this world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel — a solution of why Democritus laughed and Heraclitus wept.
Сторінка 1 - Yet I doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns.
Сторінка 226 - That the mouth, through which this food is conveyed, should be placed so near the nose and eyes as to prevent the passing unnoticed whatever is unfit for nourishment ; while Nature, on the contrary, hath set at a distance and concealed from the senses all that might disgust or any way offend them ?

Сторінка 101 - ... made of that which is itself limited. The argument proves no other infinity of duration than may be embraced within five minutes. As long as the five minutes are not expired, what remains of them may be divided by ten, and again by ten, as often as we like, which is perfectly compatible with their being only five minutes altogether. It proves, in short, that to pass through this finite space requires a time which is infinitely divisible, but not an infinite time; the confounding of which distinction...
Сторінка 184 - Are you not a piper, and far more wonderful a one than he ? For Marsyas, and whoever now pipes the music that he taught, for that music which is of heaven, and described as being taught by Marsyas, enchants men through the power of the mouth. For if any musician, be he skilful or not, awakens this music, it alone enables him to retain the minds of men, and from the divinity of its nature makes evident those who are in want of the gods and initiation. You differ only from Marsyas in this circumstance,...
Сторінка 201 - that a great soul gives utterance to its thoughts, there also is a Golgotha.
Сторінка 87 - I trust hereby to make it manifest with what small willingness I endure to interrupt the pursuit of no less hopes than these, and leave a calm and pleasing solitariness fed with cheerful and confident thoughts, to embark in a troubled sea of noises and hoarse disputes; put from beholding the bright countenance of Truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies...
