Page 158 - ... reveals itself in the balance or reconciliation of opposite or discordant qualities: of sameness, with difference; of the general, with the concrete; the idea, with the image; the individual, with the representative; the sense of novelty and freshness, with old and familiar objects; a more than usual state of emotion, with more than usual order...
Page 33 - He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune ; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.

It is essentially vital, even as all objects (as objects) are essentially fixed and dead.
Page 21 - No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, . . . enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, . . .
Page 167 - A lovely Ladie rode him faire beside, Upon a lowly Asse more white than snow, Yet she much whiter, but the same did hide Under a vele, that wimpled was full low...
Page 158 - What is poetry? is so nearly the same question with, what is a poet ? that the answer to the one is involved in the solution of the other. For it is a distinction resulting from the poetic genius itself, which sustains and modifies the images, thoughts, and emotions of the poet's own mind.
