It would have been easy to swell this little volume to a very
considerable bulk, by appending notes filled with quotations; but
to a learned reader such notes are not necessary; for an

judgment passed both by the learned and by the unlearned on a

will always depend much more on the

And many a poet echoes the conceit,
Poet, who hath been building up the rhyme
When he had better far have stretch'd his limbs
Beside a brook in mossy forest-dell
By sun or moonlight, to the influxes
Of shapes and sounds and
shifting
elements
Surrendering his whole spirit, of his song
And of his fame forgetful!

Coleridge - Lyrical Ballads |
|
Hither all crowded, and rushed
streaming to the bank, matrons and men and high-hearted heroes dead and
done with life, boys and
unwedded
girls, and children laid young on the
bier before their parents' eyes, multitudinous as leaves fall dropping
in the forests at autumn's earliest frost, or birds swarm landward from
the deep gulf, when the chill of the year routs them overseas and drives
them to sunny lands.

Virgil - Aeneid |
|
The mother now 365
Is fading out of memory, but I see
The lovely Boy as I beheld him then
Among the
wretched
and the falsely gay,
Like one of those who walked with hair unsinged
Amid the fiery furnace.

William Wordsworth |

So temper'd, out he stray'd
Half seeing visions that might have dismay'd
Alecto's serpents;
ravishments
more keen
Than Hermes' pipe, when anxious he did lean
Over eclipsing eyes: and at the last 880
It was a sounding grotto, vaulted, vast,
O'er studded with a thousand, thousand pearls,
And crimson mouthed shells with stubborn curls,
Of every shape and size, even to the bulk
In which whales arbour close, to brood and sulk
Against an endless storm.

They make a

to their
country by injury, as if it were not honester to do nothing than to seek
a way to do good by a mischief.
