Halaman 244 - I held my tongue, and spake nothing : I kept silence, yea, even from good words; but it was pain and grief to me.
Halaman 52 - Shakespeare is not our poet, but the world's, Therefore on him no speech ! and brief for thee, Browning ! Since Chaucer was alive and hale, No man hath walked along our roads with step So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue So varied in discourse.
Halaman 224 - ... taught song by gift of thee, •." " Except with bent head and beseeching hand — That still, despite the distance and the dark, What was, again may be ; some interchange Of grace, some splendour once thy very thought, Some benediction anciently thy smile : — Never conclude, but raising hand and head Thither where eyes, that cannot reach, yet yearn • For all hope, all sustainment, all reward, Their utmost up and on,— so blessing back In those thy realms of help, that heaven thy home, Some...

Halaman 367 - EYES, calm beside thee, (Lady could'st thou know !) May turn away thick with fast-gathering tears : I glance not where all gaze : thrilling and low Their passionate praises reach thee — my cheek wears Alone no wonder when thou passest by ; Thy tremulous lids bent and suffused reply To the irrepressible homage which doth glow On every lip but mine : if in thine ears Their accents linger — and thou dost recall Me as I stood, still, guarded, very pale, Beside each votarist whose lighted brow Wore...
Halaman 420 - Mrs. Browning's death is rather a relief to me, I must say : no more Aurora Leighs, thank God ! A woman of real genius, I know ; but what is the upshot of it all ! She and her sex had better mind the kitchen and the children ; and perhaps the poor. Except in such things as little novels, they only devote themselves to what men do much better, leaving that which men do worse or not at all.
Halaman 89 - His muse, bright angel of his verse. Gives balm for all the thorns that pierce, For all the pangs that rage; Blest light, still gaining on the gloom, The more than Michal of his bloom, The Abishag of his age.
Halaman 434 - He was made a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George in 1882, and two years later was knighted'.
