Quotes

  • A retrospect of the Eighteenth-Century Essayists subsequent to the ',' ',' and ',' only serves to confirm the supremacy of Addison and Steele. Some of their successors approached them in serious writing; others carried the lighter kinds to considerable perfection; but none (Goldsmith alone excepted) really rivaled them in that happily mingling of the lively and severe, which Johnson envied but could not emulate.
  • Old books, old wine, old Nankin blue;—All things, in short, to which belongThe charm, the grace that Time makes strong,—All these I prize, but (entre nous)Old friends are best.
  • Fame is a food that dead men eat,—I have no stomach for such meat.
  • Love comes unseen,—we only see it go.
  • Carry his body hence,—Kings must have slaves;Kings climb to eminenceOver men's graves:So this man's eye is dim;—Throw the earth over him.
  • And round about its gray, time-eaten browLean letters speak—a worn and shattered row:I am a Shade: a Shadowe too arte thou:'I marke the Time: saye, Gossip, dost thou soe?
