art, a much greater master of language than Mickiewicz,
and of much loftier aspirations, was eclipsed during
his lifetime by the more obvious attractiveness, the
more
tangible
charm of his rival, but his themes of
universal, Shakespearian dimensions, his mastery of
form and refinement of language, his wealth of ideas
and imagination, have entitled him to a posthumous
glory greater than that of Mickiewicz.

Aurelius Victor - Caesars |

Therefore when the sovereign occupies his place as the Son of
Heaven, and he has appointed his three ducal ministers, though (a
prince) were to send in a round symbol-of-rank large enough to fill
both the hands, and that as the
precursor
of the team of horses (in
the court-yard), such an offering would not be equal to (a lesson of)
this Tao, which one might present on his knees.

The street lamp muttered,
The street lamp said,
"Regard that woman
Who

toward you in the light of the door
Which opens on her like a grin.

XV
You pallid ghost, and you, pale ashen spirit,
Who joyful in the bright light of day
Created all that arrogant display,
Whose dusty ruin now greets our visit:
Speak, spirits (since that shadowy limit
Of Stygian shore that ensures your stay,
Enclosing you in thrice threefold array,
Sight of your dark images, may permit),
Tell me, now (since it may be one of you,
Here above, may yet be hid from view)
Do you not feel a greater depth of pain,
When from hour to hour in Roman lands
You
contemplate
the work of your hands,
Reduced to nothing but a dusty plain?

If not, then the writings
of Paley and all his predecessors and disciples are false and _most_
pernicious; and there is an emphatic
propriety
in the superlative, and in a

Odyssey - Pope |
|
Thus from his flaggy wings when Notus sheds
A night of vapours round the
mountain
heads,
Swift-gliding mists the dusky fields invade,
To thieves more grateful than the midnight shade;
While scarce the swains their feeding flocks survey,
Lost and confused amidst the thicken'd day:
So wrapp'd in gathering dust, the Grecian train,
A moving cloud, swept on, and hid the plain.

Iliad - Pope |
|
I see the Deep's untrampled floor
With green and purple sea-weeds strown;
I see the waves upon the shore
Like light
dissolved
in star-showers thrown;
I sit upon the sands alone;
The lightning of the noon-tide ocean
Is flashing round me, and a tone
Arises from its measured motion--
How sweet!
