Seite 109 - When I look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies in me ; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful, every inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tombstone, my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents themselves, I consider the vanity of grieving for those whom we must quickly follow.

I look upon these writers as Goths in poetry, who, like those in architecture, not being able to come up to the beautiful simplicity of the old Greeks and Romans, have endeavoured to supply its place with all the extravagancies of an irregular fancy.
Seite 255 - ... the wantonness of new appearances; but on such also who have just enough to clothe them. An old acquaintance of mine of ninety pounds a year, who has naturally the vanity of being a man of fashion deep at his heart, is very much put to it to bear the mortality of princes.
Seite 272 - ... solemnities I cannot forbear expressing my joy with tears that have stolen down my cheeks. For this reason I am wonderfully- delighted to see such a body of men thriving in their own private fortunes, and at the...
