(Whose groves, the Selli, race austere ! surround, Their feet unwash'd, their slumbers on the ground ; Who hear, from rustling oaks, thy dark decrees ; 290 And catch the fates, low-whisper'd in the breeze :) Hear, as of old ! Thou gav'st, at Thetis' prayer, Glory to me, and to the Greeks despair.

Sophocles appears with splendid dignity, like some imperial palace of richest architecture, the symmetry of whose parts and the chaste magnificence of the whole, delight the eye. and command the approbation of the judgment. The pathetic and moral Euripides hath the solemnity of a Gothic temple, whose storied windows admit a dim religious light, enough to show...
Seite 390 - A wandering exile, from thy sister far. Nor in the cleansing lavers did I bathe With these fond hands thy corse, nor, as became A sister, bear 'from the consuming flames The mournful burden. By a stranger's hands These duties paid, thou com'st a little dust . Clos'd in a little urn.
Seite 122 - ... He was not ; but we saw the king alone ; He stood) and o'er his face his hands he spread Shading his eyes, as if with terror struck At something horrible to human sight. Thus long he stood not, but we saw him soon The Earth adoring, and Olympus high, Seat of th' immortal gods, with ardent pray'r. But by what fate he died no mortal man, Save Theseus, can declare : for not the flames Thick flashing from the thunders of high Jove Consum'd him, nor the tempest from the sea Then raging wild ; but...
Seite 65 - I ask indeed but little, and receive Less than that little ; yet for me e'en that Suffices ; my afflictions, the long course Of years so pass'd, and fortitude of soul Teach me with cheerfulness to bear my ills. But, O my daughter, some one if thou seest Or in the sacred groves, or on the seats Not hallow'd, lead me thither, place me there, That in what land we are we may inquire ; For of the natives, strangers as we are, We come to learn, and as instructed act.
Seite 129 - Creon, who succeeded to the throne of Thebes, allowed funeral honours to Eteocles, but commanded the body of Polynices to be cast out unburied, a prey to dogs and ravenous birds, denouncing death to any person who should presume to disobey his edict, and inter the corse. The tender and virtuous Antigone, so illustrious for her filial piety, shines forth on this occasion a bright example of affection to her brother, and reverence to the gods ; animated with a sense of duty, and unterrified by the...
Seite 347 - Euripides, yielding to the bold and exalted genius of ./Eschylus, pursued a plan more adapted to the exquisite sensibility of his own mind ; and by presenting his Electra in a rustic cottage, and patiently engaged in the laborious offices of her humble station, he renders her amiable before he displays the noble elevation of her mind : he always knew the way to touch the heart.

On every side I roll'd...
