221 psl. - More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend? For so the whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.

221 psl. - So as we ought not to attempt to draw down or submit the mysteries of God to our reason, but contrariwise to raise and advance our reason to the divine truth.
131 psl. - All grave old men ; and soldiers they had been, but for age Now left the wars ; yet counsellors they were exceeding sage. And as in well-grown woods, on trees, cold spiny grasshoppers Sit chirping, and send voices out, that scarce can pierce our ears For softness...
399 psl. - But when we pass from intellect to moral tone, from bidvoia to ?i#os, we certainly find in Hector one among the most touching, the most human, of all the delineations of masculine character in the Iliad. In him alone has Homer presented to us that most commanding and most moving combination, of a woman's gentleness and deep affection with warlike and heroic strength. If the hand of Hector was far weaker than that of the son of Peleus, the tempestuous griefs of Achilles do not open to us a character...
175 psl. - Forthwith, her rede delivered, the Stern-eyed Did to the mansions of Olympus go. There, as they tell, the gods securely bide In regions where the rough winds never blow, Unvisited by mist or rain or snow, Veiled in a volant ether, ample, clear, Swept by the silver light's perpetual flow ; Wherein the happy gods from year to year Quaff pleasure.
