109 psl. - ... chastened sentiment, and often playful. The tone should not be pitched high; it should be idiomatic and rather in the conversational key; the rhythm should be crisp and sparkling, and the rhyme frequent and never forced, while the entire poem should be marked by tasteful moderation, high finish and completeness; for however trivial the subject-matter may be — indeed, rather in proportion to its triviality, subordination to the rules of composition and perfection of execution should be strictly...
123 psl. - I'll leave her : Would I were free from this restraint, Or else had hopes to win her : Would she could make of me a saint, Or I of her a sinner ! " What a conquering air there is about these ! What an irresistible Mr.
108 psl. - If real, it disturbs the level of conversation and of manners — if simulated, so much the worse. In such an atmosphere, emotion takes refuge in jest, and passion hides itself in scepticism of passion : we are not going to wear our hearts upon our sleeves, rather than that we shall pretend to have no heart at all ; and if, perchance, a bit of it should peep out, we shall hide it again as quickly as possible, and laugh at the exposure as a good joke.
115 psl. - AT Paris it was, at the opera there; And she looked like a queen in a book that night, With the wreath of pearl in her raven hair, And the brooch on her breast so bright. Of all the operas that Verdi wrote, The best, to my taste, is the Trovatore; And Mario can soothe, with a tenor note, The souls in purgatory. The moon on the tower slept soft as snow; And...
113 psl. - RYS DE MADAME D'ALLEBRET How fair those locks which now the light wind stirs ! What eyes she has, and what a perfect arm ! And yet methinks that little Laugh of hers — That little Laugh is still her crowning charm. Where'er she passes, countryside or town, The streets make festa, and the fields rejoice. Should sorrow come, as 't will, to cast me down, Or Death, as come he must, to hush my voice, Her Laugh would wake me, just as now it thrills me — That little giddy Laugh wherewith she kills me.
43 psl. - Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God, Who from His altar call ; Extol the stem of Jesse's rod, And crown Him Lord of all.
3 psl. - Times are changed with him who marries ; there are no more by-path meadows, where you may innocently linger, but the road lies long and straight and dusty to the grave.
150 psl. - If you choose to play! — is my principle. Let a man contend to the uttermost For his life's set prize, be it what it will!
69 psl. - A book of verses underneath the bough, A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou Beside me singing in the wilderness — O wilderness were Paradise enow.
109 psl. - Light lyrical verse should be short, elegant, refined, and fanciful, not seldom distinguished by chastened sentiment, and often playful. The tone should not be pitched high, and it should be idiomatic, the rhythm crisp and sparkling, the rhyme frequent and never forced, while the entire poem should be marked by tasteful moderation, high finish, and completeness...
