Страница 290 - Now this appears to me such nonsense. Ellesmere. Yes, it is. I don't believe that anybody thoroughly understands a great play until he has seen it acted. Milverton.

Страница 189 - ... dull, when earth, air, and water are all alike mysteries to you, and when as you stretch out your hand you do not touch anything the properties of which you have mastered ; while all the time Nature is inviting you to talk earnestly with her, to understand her, to subdue her, and to be blessed by her ! Go away, man ; learn something, do something, understand something, and let me hear no more of your dulness.

It is an immense responsibility that Providence has thrown upon us, in subjecting these sensitive creatures to our complete sway ; and I tremble at the thought of how poor an answer we shall have to give when asked the question how we have made use of the power entrusted to us over the brute creation.
