Popular passages

Page 520 - His gardens next your admiration call; On every side you look, behold the wall! No pleasing intricacies intervene, No artful wildness to perplex the scene ; Grove nods at grove, each alley has a brother, And half the platform just reflects the other.

Page 332 - Winter, still lingering on the verge of Spring, Retires reluctant, and from time to time Looks back, while at his keen and chilling breath, Fair Flora sickens.
