Pagina 63 - And the hyacinth purple, and white, and blue, Which flung from its bells a sweet peal anew Of music so delicate, soft, and intense, It was felt like an odour within the sense...
Pagina 58 - Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness ! This is the state of man ; to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him : The third day comes a frost, a killing frost ; And,— when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a ripening, — nips his root, And then he falls, as I do.
Pagina 56 - Awake : The morning shines, and the fresh field Calls us; we lose the prime, to mark how spring Our tender plants, how blows the citron grove, What drops the myrrh, and what the balmy reed, How nature paints her colours, how the bee Sits on the bloom extracting liquid sweet.

Pagina 56 - How delightful is this fragrance ! It is distributed in the nicest proportion; neither so strong as to oppress the organs, nor so faint as to elude them. We are soon cloyed at a sumptuous banquet; but this pleasure never loses its poignancy, never palls the appetite. Here luxury itself is innocent; or rather in this case, indulgence is incapable of excess. This balmy entertainment not only regales the sense, but cheers the very soul; and, instead of clogging, elates its powers.
Pagina 16 - If you would have a vivid, vigorous breed, Of every kind, examine well the seed ; Learn to what elements your plants belong, What is their constitution, weak or strong ; Be their physician, careful of their lives, And see that every species daily thrives ; These love much air, these on much earth rely, These, without constant warmth, decay and die ; Supply the wants of each, and they will pay For all your care through each, succeeding day.
