Seite 358 - I suppose, have thus suffered; and if I had to live my life again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through use.
Seite 182 - THE future of poetry is immense, because in poetry, where it is worthy of its high destinies, our race, as time goes on, will find an ever surer and surer stay.

The strongest part of our religion today is its unconscious poetry.
Seite 145 - ... who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself.
Seite 226 - Extol not riches then, the toil of fools, The wise man's cumbrance, if not snare; more apt To slacken virtue, and abate her edge Than prompt her to do aught may merit praise.
Seite 358 - My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts ; but why this should have caused the atrophy of that part of the brain alone on which the higher tastes depend, I cannot conceive.
Seite 440 - Well, then; I have received personal information from a very high quarter that a certain document of the last importance has been purloined from the royal apartments.
