Great Excellence, in human art as in human character,
has from the
beginning
of things been even more uniform than Mediocrity,
by virtue of the closeness of its approach to Nature:--and so far as the
standard of Excellence kept in view has been attained in this volume, a
comparative absence of extreme or temporary phases in style, a
similarity of tone and manner, will be found throughout:--something
neither modern nor ancient but true in all ages, and like the works of
Creation perfect as on the first day.

to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover's toil attends,
Few ask if fraud or force attained his ends.

Li Bai - Chinese |
|
She was nor this nor that of those beings divine,
But each and the whole--an essence of all the Nine;
With
tentative
foot she neared to my halting-place,
A pensive smile on her sweet, small, marvellous face.

Acknowledge when thus moved, which Nature thus
To bodily sense exhibits, is the express
Resemblance of that
glorious

That higher minds bear with them as their own.

With copious love shall crown thy warm embrace;
Such as thyself shall chose; who yield to none,
Or yield to Helen's

Iliad - Pope |

Resolved
am I
In the woods, rather, with wild beasts to couch,
And bear my doom, and character my love
Upon the tender tree-trunks: they will grow,
And you, my love, grow with them.

Virgil - Eclogues |

Death sets a thing significant
The eye had hurried by,
Except a
perished
creature
Entreat us tenderly
To ponder little workmanships
In crayon or in wool,
With "This was last her fingers did,"
Industrious until
The thimble weighed too heavy,
The stitches stopped themselves,
And then 't was put among the dust
Upon the closet shelves.
