Stranica 214 - From wandering on a foreign strand ? If such there breathe, go, mark him well ; For him no minstrel raptures swell ; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim, — Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
Stranica 62 - I am lord of the fowl and the brute. 0 solitude ! where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face ? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place. 1 am out of humanity's reach, I must finish my journey alone, Never hear the sweet music of speech, — I start at the sound of my own.

Stranica 62 - I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute ; From the centre all round to the sea, I am lord of the fowl and the brute. 0 Solitude! where are the charms That sages have seen in thy face ? Better dwell in the midst of alarms Than reign in this horrible place.
Stranica 219 - Lo, the poor Indian ! whose untutored mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind: His soul, proud science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk or Milky Way...
Stranica 97 - Whoever thinks, must see that man was made To face the storm, not languish in the shade : Action's his sphere, and, for that sphere design'd. Eternal pleasures open on his mind. For this, fair hope leads on th...
Stranica 207 - ... the captors of his ship ought to have thought, he was forced to consider how they were to subsist ; and recollecting that he had planted a few potatoes, they directed their attention to them, and, in the course of the second season, obtained a serviceable supply. They had a dog which now and then caught a pig ; and the eggs of the albatross, which were stored at the proper season, with potatoes, formed a substitute for bread, and the skins of the seals for clothes. They built a house of stone,...
Stranica 166 - O let not man complain, Else shall he never, never cease to wail; For, from the imperial dome, to where the swain Rears the lone cottage in the silent dale, All feel the...
