Página 225 - As love came close to you, breast to breast. 1 shall never be friends again with roses; I shall loathe sweet tunes, where a note grown strong Relents and recoils, and climbs and closes, As a wave of the sea turned back by song. There are sounds where the soul's delight takes fire, Face to face with its own desire; A delight that rebels, a desire that reposes; I shall hate sweet music my whole life long.
Página 319 - Elegy! — have at you all! I, too, can scrawl, and once upon a time I poured along the town a flood of rhyme, A schoolboy freak, unworthy praise or blame ; I printed — older children do the same. Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print ; A Book's a Book, altho

Página ii - All that he has to tell us is told with wonderful verve and in an easy flowing style which has a great charm for all who can appreciate such satire. ... I could dwell upon the ' Silver Domino ' with great benefit to my readers and satisfaction to myself, but space forbids ; so I will only say that the book is the most valuable contribution to our satirical literature that has appeared for many, many years.
Página 229 - Ah, ah, thy beauty! like a beast it bites, Stings like an adder, like an arrow smites.

His wreck, animated by the dim strange fish below, appeared fairer ; it winked lurefully when abandoned. The internal state of a gentleman who detested intangible metaphor as heartily as the vulgarest of our gobble-gobbets hate it, metaphor only can describe ; and for the reason, that he had in him just something more than is within the compass of the language of the meat-markets.

Página 94 - voice of the people " at all ; it is simply the voice of a few editors. Were the most gifted man that ever held a pen to write a letter to any of the papers on a crying subject of national shame, he would be refused a hearing unless he were a friend of the proprietors of whatever journal he elected to write to.
