And thinking of the days that are no more. Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail, That brings our friends up from the underworld, Sad as the last which reddens over one That sinks with all we love below the verge; So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.

Page 286 - Now this appears to me such nonsense. Ellesmere. Yes, it is. I don't believe that anybody thoroughly understands a great play until he has seen it acted. Milverton. If there is anything in the world that I think I know well, it is Macbeth.

Page 185 - ... dull, when earth, air, and water are all alike mysteries to you, and when as you stretch out your hand you do not touch anything the properties of which you have mastered ; while all the time Nature is inviting you to talk earnestly with her, to understand her, to subdue her, and to be blessed by her !
