Pagina 15 - Happy is he who, like Spinoza, has been able to make out a livelihood by grinding lenses, instead of demeaning himself to the tasks that humanity offers him through its agents the booksellers and editors. Unhappy, who must echo the mournful cry of Shakespeare — " My nature is subdued To what it works in, like the dyer's hand.
Pagina 54 - Some words leave off where they begin, they are emotions expressed in sound, like musical notes — such as the old grammar-books call interjections.
