That far outstripped the other ; Yet ever runs she with reverted face, And looks and listens for the boy behind : For he, alas ! is blind ! O'er rough and smooth with even step he passed, And knows not whether he be first or last.
Страница 199 - Trimmer ' signifieth no more than this, that if men are together in a boat, and one part of the company would weigh it down on one side, another would make it lean as much to the contrary ; it happeneth there is a third opinion of those who conceive it would do as well if the boat went even, without endangering the passengers.
Страница 26 - Firma, and grateful to the God of Jacob who had sustained them through unprecedented trials and guarded them through unheard-of perils, they assumed the name of DISRAELI, a name never borne before or since by any other family, in order that their race might be for ever recognised.
Страница 198 - Trimmer, between the frenzy of platonic visions, and the lethargic ignorance of popish dreams : That our laws are Trimmers, between the excess of unbounded power, and the extravagance of liberty not enough restrained : That true virtue hath ever been thought a Trimmer, and to have its dwelling in the middle between the two extremes : That even God Almighty himself is divided between his two great attributes, his Mercy and his Justice.
Страница 198 - Trimmer, therefore, inspired by this divine virtue, thinks fit to conclude with these assertions : that our climate is a Trimmer, between that part of the world where men are roasted, and the other where they are frozen ; that our church is a Trimmer, between the phrenzy of Platonic visions, and the lethargic ignorance of popish dreams...

But the generous people of England are always forbearing and forgiving to those statesmen who have the good of their country at heart ; like my betters, I have been misrepresented and slandered by those who know nothing of me : but I have been more than compensated by the confidence and the friendship of the best men of my own political connection, and by the regard and favourable interpretation of my motives which I have heard expressed by my generous opponents, from the days of Lord...
Страница 1 - THE author of this volume is a young man of unblemished character, and of distinguished parliamentary talents, the rising hope of those stern and unbending Tories, who follow, reluctantly and mutinously, a leader, whose experience and eloquence are indispensable to them, but whose cautious temper and moderate opinions they abhor.
Страница 45 - For always roaming with a hungry heart Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, And drunk delight of battle with my peers, Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy. I am a part of all that I have met...
Страница 48 - ... hour. As there have been painters, not generally much above mediocrity, who have scaled the heights of excellence in a single picture, so there have been poets, ordinarily only second or third rate, whom a solitary ode or sonnet has lifted to the level of the masters of song. In some happy hour, some mental crisis-, they have soared on the wings of fancy to a high heaven of invention ; but when, flushed with confidence by their success, they have plumed themselves for another not less daring...
Страница 125 - I have been allowed to have my share in the task accomplished in the half-century which has elapsed from 1819 to 1869. My capacity, I always felt, was very inferior to that of the men who have attained in past times the foremost place in our Parliament, and in the councils of our Sovereign.
