Stranica 142 - Horribly beautiful! but on the verge, From side to side, beneath the glittering morn, An Iris sits, amidst the infernal surge, Like Hope upon a death-bed, and, unworn Its steady dyes, while all around is torn By the distracted waters...
Stranica 343 - DECIMO-TERZO 1M on era ancor di là Nesso arrivato, Quando noi ci mettemmo per un bosco, Che da nessun sentiero era segnato. Non frondi verdi, ma di color fosco, Non rami schietti, ma nodosi e involti, * Non pomi v
Stranica 225 - Ma per salirla mo nessun diparte Da terra i piedi : e la regola mia Rimasa è giù per danno delle carte.
Stranica 265 - Veggio in Alagna entrar lo fiordaliso , E nel Vicario suo Cristo esser catto. Veggiolo un' altra volta esser deriso : Veggio rinnovellar l'aceto e '1 fele , E tra vivi ladroni essere anciso.

Stranica 212 - Dante writes in allusion to this : » " Quel monte, a cui Cassino e nella costa, Fu frequentato gia in su la cima Dalla gente ingannata e mal disposta. Ed io son quel che su vi portai prima Lo nome di Colui che'n terra addusse La verita, che tanto ci sublima ; E tanta grazia sovra me rilusse, Ch'io ritrassi le ville circostanti Dall 'empio culto che'l mondo sedusse.
Stranica 194 - I. 13 distance ; these form a succession of landscapes superior, in the delight produced, to the richest cabinet of Claude's. Tivoli cannot be described : no true portrait of it exists : all views alter and embellish it : they are poetical translations of the matchless original. Indeed, when you come to detail the hill, some defect of harmony will ever be found in the foreground or distance, something in the swell or channelling of its sides, something in the growth or the grouping of its trees,...
