第 34 頁 - Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead thou me on ! The night is dark, and I am far from home — Lead thou me on ! Keep Thou my feet ; I do not ask to see The distant scene — one step enough for me.
第 176 頁 - Let us consider, too, how differently young and old are affected by the words of some classic author, such as Homer or Horace. Passages, which to a boy are but rhetorical commonplaces, neither better nor worse than a hundred others which any clever writer might supply, which he gets by heart and thinks very fine, and imitates, as he thinks successfully, in his own flowing versification...

It is the action of a formative power, reducing to order and meaning the matter of our acquirements; it is a making the objects of our knowledge subjectively our own, or, to use a familiar word, it is a digestion of what we receive, into the substance of our previous state...
第 177 頁 - Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ, a prophet in its informations, a monarch in its peremptoriness, a priest in its blessings and anathemas, and, even though the eternal priesthood throughout the Church could cease to be, in it the sacerdotal principle would remain and would have a sway.
第 205 頁 - I think I have never written for writing's sake ; but my one and single desire and aim has been to do what is so difficult — viz., to express clearly and exactly my meaning ; this has been the motive principle of all my corrections and re-writings.
第 56 頁 - And dimly understood. But o'er the elements One Hand alone One Hand has sway. What influence day by day In straiter belt prevents The impious Ocean, thrown Alternate o'er the ever-sounding shore ? Or who has eye to trace How the Plague came ? Forerun the doublings of the Tempest's race ? Or the Air's weight and flame On a set scale explore...
第 45 頁 - The heart is commonly reached, not through the reason, but through the imagination, by means of direct impressions, by the testimony of facts and events, by history, by description.
