Halaman 273 - MY life is like the summer rose That opens to the morning sky, But ere the shades of evening close Is scattered on the ground— to die. Yet on the rose's humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed, As if she wept the waste to see, — But none shall weep a tear for me...
Halaman 273 - But on the rose's humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed ; As if she wept such waste to see, — But none shall weep a tear for me ! " My life is like the autumn leaf, That trembles in the moon's pale ray; Its hold is frail, — its date is brief, Restless, and soon to pass away.

Halaman 232 - DI GIUGNO 1823 PIANSE SUO PADRE E ITALIA, PERDONO A NEMICI E SPIRO. VENTINOVE TRAVAGLIATI ANNI E SPERANZE DELUSE FURONO LA SUA VITA. Vox audita est in Rama ! Voce dalla montagna udita fu ! Ploratus et ululatus multum ! Pianto e ululato molto ! Rachel plorans Jilios suost Rachele e che de' suoi figli 0i dole, Et noluit consolari, quia non sunt.

Halaman 173 - ... it employs, and the ends it has in view, over Pagan art ; that is, the poetry and fine arts, anterior to Christianity. Pagan art, he says, is material, referring only to outward forms ; it wants the elevated spirit which comes from the Christian religion ; it is contented with imitating nature ; " the art and the artist have attained their highest excellence, when the bird pecks at the painted grapes, or when the Athenian would withdraw the veil to behold the lady it conceals.
Halaman 145 - Through this journal,' to use the language of one of their number, ' they hoped to give a new literary direction to the intellect; or, in other words, to restore letters to their pure and primary end ; that is to say, to lead to the true by means of the beautiful.' A noble patriotism seems to have actuated this able corps of writers, for they entered at once into admirable plans for promoting education, agriculture, and the useful arts.
