Side 252 - ... nothing can be so ridiculous upon the face of it, or so contrary to the genuine march of sentiment, as to require the overflowing of the soul to wait upon a ceremony, and that which, wherever delicacy and imagination exist, is of all things most sacredly private, to blow a trumpet before it, and to record the moment when it has arrived at its climax.
Side 28 - In that performance there appeared to be a total absence of this pervading genius ; though every individual figure was correctly drawn, and to the action of each as careful an attention was paid, as if it were a set Academy figure.
