At length the man perceives it die away And fade into the light of common day.
Página 117 - Wisdom and spirit of the universe !

Página 90 - I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous Boy, The sleepless Soul that perished in his pride; Of Him who walked in glory and in joy Following his plough, along the mountain-side : By our own spirits are we deified : We poets in our youth begin in gladness; But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
