Halaman 28 - ... without imitation. He thinks in a peculiar train, and he thinks always as a man of genius; he looks round on Nature and on Life with the eye which Nature bestows only on a poet ; the eye that distinguishes in...

He then proceeded to open the fountain of that heart, from whence goodness had so long flowed, as from a copious spring.
Halaman 14 - Mr. Savage then imagined his task over, and expected that Sir Richard would call for the reckoning, and return home ; but his expectations deceived him, for Sir Richard told him that he was without money, and that the pamphlet...
