Страница 55 - Gainsborough, it was in the character of King David. He had heard a harper at Bath; the performer was soon left harpless; and now Fischer, Abel, and Giardini, were all forgotten ; there was nothing like chords and arpeggios ! He really stuck to the harp long enough to play several airs with variations, and, in a little time, would nearly have exhausted all the pieces usually performed on an instrument incapable of modulation, (this was not a pedal-harp) when another visit from Abel brought him back...
Страница 60 - and she was always ready to sing without any pressing. She sang here a great deal, and to my infinite delight ; but what had a peculiar charm was, that she used to take my daughter, then a child, on her lap, and sing a number of childish songs with such a playfulness of manner and such a sweetness of look and voice as was quite enchanting.

Страница 102 - Now, don't laugh, but listen. I shall die soon— I know it— I feel it. I have less time to live than my looks infer; but for this I care not. What oppresses my mind is this : I have many acquaintances and few friends; and as I wish to have one worthy man to accompany me to the grave, I am desirous of bespeaking you. Will you come ; aye or no?
Страница 56 - What use is your book to me if I don't understand it? and your lute, you may take it again if you won't teach me to play on it. Come home with me, and give me the first lesson.' ' I will come to-morrow.'
Страница 60 - ... better than contemptible and mischievous trifling, or they may be aids. I think, upon the whole, unless we constantly refer to real nature, that practice may be more likely to do harm than good. I mention it only, as it...
Страница 56 - No, not for a guinea or two? but you must sell it, I tell you!
Страница 102 - Without entering into a detail of what passed at this last interview, the impression of it upon my mind was, that his regret at losing life, was principally the regret of leaving his art; and more especially as he now began, he said, to see what his deficiencies were; which, he said, he flattered himself in his last works were in some measure supplied.
