第 72 頁 - purge off, Benign, if so it please thee, my mind's film." " None can usurp this height," returned that shade, " But those to whom the miseries of the world Are misery, and will not let them rest.
第 123 頁 - We stood by a pond that winter day, And the sun was white, as though chidden of God, And a few leaves lay on the starving sod; — They had fallen from an ash, and were gray.
第 56 頁 - But as air, melody, is what strikes me most of all in music and design in painting, so design, pattern or what I am in the habit of calling 'inscape' is what I above all aim at in poetry. Now it is the virtue of design, pattern, or inscape to be distinctive and it is the vice of distinctiveness to become queer. This vice I cannot have escaped.
