Page 101 - Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
Page li - The most beautiful colors, laid on confusedly, will not give as much pleasure as the chalk outline of a portrait. Thus Tragedy is the imitation of an action, and of the agents mainly with a view to the action.
Page 101 - She half enclosed me with her arms, She pressed me with a meek embrace, And, bending back her head, looked up And gazed upon my face.
Page 98 - And sing of knights and ladies gentle deeds ; Whose praises having slept in silence long, Me, all too meane, the sacred Muse areeds To blazon broade emongst her learned throng : Fierce warres and faithfull loves shall moralize my song.

Page lii - Leipzig, 1895, 1897. It is natural to compare the inscriptional senarii with literary verse (especially that of Plautus and Terence), and Oscar Brugman has already done this in his monograph on coincidence in senarii, Bonn, 1874. Now, though 106 of our verses antedate 44 BC, it is doubtful if any are contemporary with Plautus or Terence. Still, the evidence of the inscriptions is not to be disregarded in considering the versification of the early comedy; positive confirming evidence is certainly...
Page 40 - If we appeal to historical parallels we must take them with all their consequences. If the cases are not sufficiently parallel to show similar results from similar causes, we had better leave them alone. On the other hand, if we wish to prove that the differentiation of Indo-European speech was like the differentiation of Romance speech, we must be able to show that the conditions under which the differentiations took place were alike or equivalent. But even a cursory examination of the manner in...
