Página 289 - And filled the illumined groves with ravishment. The nightly hunter, lifting a bright eye Up towards the crescent moon, with grateful heart Called on the lovely wanderer who bestowed That timely light, to share his joyous sport: And hence, a beaming Goddess with her Nymphs, Across the lawn and through the darksome grove (Not unaccompanied with tuneful notes By echo multiplied from rock or cave) Swept in the storm of chase; as moon and stars Glance rapidly along the clouded heaven, When winds are...

Página 321 - Now hail, now hail, thou lady bright ! ' — ' Now hail, thou Baron true ! What news, what news from Ancram fight ? What news from the bold Buccleuch?
Página 301 - Scott's face, but the expression which is most prominent, is not of the kind which one who had known his works, and had heard nothing about his appearance, would be inclined to expect. The common language of his features expresses all manner of discernment and acuteness of intellect, and the utmost nerve and decision of character. He smiles frequently, and I never saw any smile which tells so eloquently the union of broad...
Página 182 - Laing himself is a quiet, sedate looking old gentleman, who, although he has contrived to make very rich in his business, has still the air of being somewhat dissatisfied that so much more attention should be paid by his fellow-citizens to the flimsy novelties of the day than to the solid and substantial articles which his magazine displays. But his son is the chief enthusiast — indeed, he is by far the most genuine specimen of the true old-fashioned bibliopole that I ever saw exhibited in the...
Página 100 - The truth is, that a great national author connects himself for ever with all the better part of his nation, by the ties of an intellectual kinsmanship, — ties which, in his own age, are scarcely less powerful than those of the kinsmanship of blood, and which, instead of evaporating and being forgotten in the course of a few generations, as the bonds of blood must inevitably be, are only rivetted the faster by every year that passes over them.
