Seite 133 - AMBITION is to the mind, what the cap is to the falcon ; it blinds us first, and then compels us to tower, by reason of our blindness.
Seite 32 - And every form that Fancy can repair From dark oblivion glows divinely there. What potent spirit guides the raptured eye To pierce the shades of dim futurity ? Can Wisdom lend, with all her heavenly power, The pledge of Joy's anticipated hour? Ah, no ! she darkly sees the fate of...
