الصفحة 16 - And ever against eating cares Lap me in soft Lydian airs Married to immortal verse, Such as the meeting soul may pierce In notes, with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out, With wanton heed and giddy cunning, The melting voice through mazes running, Untwisting all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony; That Orpheus...
الصفحة 19 - The noisy geese that gabbled o'er the pool, The playful children just let loose from school, The watch-dog's voice that bayed the whispering wind. And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind, These all in sweet confusion sought the shade, And filled each pause the nightingale had made.
الصفحة 19 - To th' instruments divine respondence meet: The silver sounding instruments did meet With the base murmure of the waters fall: The waters fall with difference discreet, Now soft, now loud, unto the wind did call: The gentle warbling wind low answered to all.
الصفحة 18 - Sweet was the sound when oft at evening's close, Up yonder hill the village murmur rose; There as I past with careless steps and slow, The mingling notes came softened from below; The swain responsive as the milk-maid sung, The sober herd that lowed to meet their young, The noisy geese that gabbled o'er the pool, The playful children just let loose from school, The watch-dog's voice that...
الصفحة 117 - Now character determines men's qualities, but it is by their actions that they are happy or the reverse. Dramatic action, therefore, is not with a view to the representation of character: character comes in as subsidiary to the actions. Hence the incidents and the plot are the end of a tragedy; and the end is the chief thing of all.
الصفحة 111 - COMEDY, as was said before, is an imitation of bad characters ; bad, not with respect to every sort of vice, but to the ridiculous only, as being a species of turpitude or deformity ; since it may be defined to be a fault or deformity of such a sort as is neither painful nor destructive. A ridiculous face, for example, is something ugly and distorted, but not so as to cause pain.
الصفحة 164 - Metaphor consists in giving the thing a name that belongs to something else; the transference being either from genus to species, or from species to genus, or from species to species, or on grounds of analogy.
الصفحة 185 - His diction is in the highest degree florid and luxuriant, such as may be said to be to his images and thoughts both their lustre and their shade ; such as invests them with splendour, through which perhaps they are not always easily discerned.
الصفحة 143 - Orestes: of improper and unbecoming manners in the lamentation of Ulysses in Scylla, and in the speech of Menalippe: of ununiform manners in the Iphigenia at Aulis; for there the Iphigenia who supplicates for life has no resemblance to the Iphigenia of the conclusion. In the manners, as in the fable, the poet should always aim either at what is necessary or what is probable ; so that such a character shall appear to speak or act, necessarily or probably, in such a manner, and this event to be the...
الصفحة 165 - Or, again, as old age is to life, so is evening to day. Evening may therefore be called "the old age of the day," and old age, "the evening of life," or, in the phrase of Empedocles, "life's setting sun.
