Seite 155 - His wandering step Obedient to high thoughts, has visited The awful ruins of the days of old : Athens, and Tyre, and Balbec, and the waste Where stood Jerusalem, the fallen towers Of Babylon, the eternal pyramids, Memphis and Thebes, and whatsoe'er of strange Sculptured on alabaster obelisk, Or jasper tomb, or mutilated sphynx, Dark Ethiopia in her desert hills Conceals.
Seite 161 - Link'd and wedded to retirement, hating bus'ness, hating strife ? Soon your greedy eye's upon him — when his mind is least at home, — Room and place — from farthest Thrace, at your bidding he must come. Foot and hand are straight upon him — neck and shoulder in your grip, • To the ground anon he's thrown, and you smite him on the hip.

Seite 198 - At rest ! at rest ! The wretched and the desperate, let them court The dull, the dreamless, the unconscious sleep, To lap them in its stagnant lethargy.

Seite 241 - My great diversion is, in reposed posture, to turn my eyes upon the galleries, and bless myself to hear the happy savages laugh ; or when...
Seite 127 - Femmes ! femmes ! objets chers et funestes , que la nature orna pour notre supplice , qui punissez quand on vous brave , qui poursuivez quand on vous craint, dont la haine et l'amour sont également nuisibles, et qu'on ne peut ni rechercher ni fuir impunément!... Beauté, charme, attrait, sympathie, être ou chimère inconcevable, abîme de douleurs et de voluptés!
