Страница 131 - We cannot indeed have a single Image in the Fancy that did not make its first Entrance through the Sight; but we have the Power of retaining, altering and compounding those Images, which we have once received, into all the Varieties of Picture and Vision...
Страница 2 - Mirth is short and transient, cheerfulness fixed and permanent. Those are often raised into the greatest transports of mirth who are subject to the greatest depressions of melancholy.

Страница 84 - Sedley* has that prevailing gentle art Which can with a resistless charm impart The loosest wishes to the chastest heart ; liaise such a conflict, kindle such a fire, Between declining virtue and desire, That the poor vanquish'd maid dissolves away In dreams all night, in sighs and tears all day.
Страница 149 - They have a word, it seems, in their language, by which they express the particular beauty of a plantation that thus strikes the imagination at first sight, without discovering what it is that has so agreeable an effect.
Страница 141 - One of the final causes of our delight in any thing that is great may be this. The Supreme Author of our being has so formed the soul of man, that nothing but himself can be its last, adequate and proper happiness.
