Seite 146 - A great deal of the pleasure experienced from bulls, proceeds from the sense of superiority in ourselves. Bulls which we invented, or knew to be invented, might please, but in a less degree, for want of this additional zest.
Seite 329 - The pomp, the dignity, the ceremony of this transaction corresponded to the greatest conception that is suggested in the annals of human kind : the delegates of a great people sitting in judgment on their supreme magistrate, and trying him for his misgovernment and breach of trust.
Seite 35 - After the death of Caesario, and a short exhortation to that purpose by Orsino, all the conspirators fall down in a thunderclap, ask pardon of the King, and are forgiven. This mixture of physical and moral power is beautiful! How interesting a water-spout would appear among Mr. Lewis's kings and queens !
