Страница 48 - Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd, Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked or charitable, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, That I will speak to thee: I'll call thee Hamlet, King, father, royal Dane, O, answer me!
Страница 27 - I ! Is it not monstrous, that this player here, But in a fiction, in a dream of passion, Could force his soul so to his own conceit, That, from her working, all his visage wann'd ; Tears in his eyes, distraction in's aspect, A broken voice, and his whole function suiting With forms to his conceit ?

Страница 27 - What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, That he should weep for her ? What would he do, Had he the motive and the cue for passion That I have ? He would drown the stage with tears And cleave the general ear with horrid speech, Make mad the guilty and...

Action can be understood and again represented by the spirit alone.
Страница 158 - Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship" in The Confessions of a Beautiful Soul:— " During many sleepless nights, especially, I had some feelings so remarkable that I cannot describe them clearly. It was as if my soul were thinking unaccompanied by the body. It looked on the body as something apart from itself, much as we look on a dress. It pictured to itself, with the most extraordinary vividness, past times and events, and felt what would be their results. All these times have passed away; what follows...
Страница 3 - We ought to hear at least one little song every day, read a good poem, see a first-rate painting, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.
Страница 166 - Longer than was good. On looking back upon the period which I passed in their society it seems as if I looked into an endless void ; nothing of it has remained with me." " Here you are mistaken," said the stranger; "everything that happens to us leaves some trace behind it; everything contributes imperceptibly to form us. Yet often it is dangerous to take a strict account of that. For either we grow proud and negligent, or downcast and dispirited ; and both are equally injurious in their consequences....
