Página 81 - Sweet hour of twilight! — in the solitude Of the pine forest, and the silent shore Which bounds Ravenna's immemorial wood, Rooted where once the Adrian wave flow'd o'er, To where the last Caesarean fortress stood, Evergreen forest!
Página 207 - Cover your heads and mock not flesh and blood With solemn reverence : throw away respect, Tradition, form and ceremonious duty, For you have but mistook me all this while : I live with bread like you, feel want, Taste grief, need friends : subjected thus, How can you say to me, I am a king ? Car.
Página 16 - Before St. Mark still glow his steeds of brass, Their gilded collars glittering in the sun ; But is not Doria's menace come to pass ? Are they not bridled...
Página 185 - Now all is changed ; and here, as in the wild, The day is silent, dreary as the night ; None stirring, save the herdsman and his herd, Savage alike ; or they that would explore, Discuss and learnedly ; or they that come (And there are many who have crossed the earth) That they may give the hours to meditation, And wander, often saying to themselves, " This was the ROMAN FORUM I " A FUNERAL. " WHENCE this delay 1 " — " Along the crowded street A funeral comes, and with unusual pomp.
