Stran 187 - The other shape, If shape it might be called that shape had none Distinguishable in member, joint or limb; Or substance might be called that shadow seemed; For each seemed either; black it stood as night, Fierce as ten furies, terrible as Hell, And shook a dreadful dart; what seemed his head The likeness of a kingly crown had on...
Stran 17 - Whoe'er like me with trembling anguish brings " His heart's whole treasure to fair Bristol's springs...
Stran 170 - ... in favour of some undefined change in the mode of governing the country? It seems to me a curious crisis — when public opinion never had such influence on public measures, and yet never was so dissatisfied with the share, which it possessed. It is growing too large for the channels that it has been accustomed to run through.
Stran 280 - ... the rights of sovereignty and property which the State of Nicaragua possesses in and over the line of the canal therein provided for. If the Senate doubt on that subject, it will be clearly wrong to involve us in a controversy with England by adopting the treaty; but after the best consideration which I have been able to give to the subject my own...
Stran 367 - Slue-ribbands that I think it right to send you a memorandum which will show you, in one view, how impossible it is to do anything satisfactory towards a Government in this country without the help of the aristocracy.
Stran 116 - Night cometh when no man can work," said one who could not have foreseen the fate of a man in office and the House of Commons. A fortnight hence I shall be free as air — free from ten thousand engagements which I cannot fulfil ; free from the anxiety of having more to do than it is possible to do well ; free from the acknowledgments of that gratitude which consists in a lively sense of future favours ; free from the necessity of abstaining from private intimacy that will certainly interfere with...
Stran 210 - Sumner. This feeling has influenced every action of his life in relation to his Government from that moment ; and I believe to more than one of us he avowed that his objection to Mr. Canning was that his accession to the Government was peculiarly desirable to you.
Stran 244 - I differ from you," said the King, " nothing is so good as a fowl ; if they were as scarce as pheasants, and pheasants as plenty as fowls, no one would eat a pheasant.
Stran 159 - I believe in general, they prayed for "all the Royal Family." Feb. loth. — Came in [to town] to breakfast with Lowther. We talked over the difficulty about praying for the Queen. It struck me that if she is to be prayed for, it will be, in fact, a final settlement of all questions in her favour. If she is fit to be introduced to the Almighty, she is fit to be received by men, and if we are to pray for her in Church we may surely bow to her at Court.
Stran 170 - Can we resist — I mean, not next session or the session after that — but can we resist for seven years Reform in Parliament ? Will not, remote as is the scene — will not recent events in Spain diminish the probability of such resistance ? And if reform cannot be resisted, is it not more probable that Whigs and Tories will unite, and carry through moderate reform, than remain opposed to each other...
