Side 91 - With hue like that when some great painter dips His pencil in the gloom of earthquake and eclipse.
Side 95 - Which bear thy name; love, like the atmosphere Of the sun's fire filling the living world, Burst from thee, and illumined earth and heaven And the deep ocean and the sunless caves And all that dwells within them ; till grief...
Side 11 - Fear and pity may be aroused by spectacular means; but they may also result from the inner structure of the piece, which is the better way, and indicates a superior poet.
