Seite 28 - There is no instance of a man before Gibbons who gave to wood the loose and airy lightness of flowers, and chained together the various productions of the elements with a free disorder natural to each species.
Seite 25 - Behold yon huge And unhewn sphere of living adamant, Which, poised by magic, rests its central weight On yonder pointed rock : firm as it seems, Such is its strange and virtuous property, It moves obsequious to the gentlest touch Of him whose heart is pure ; but to a traitor, Tho' e'en a giant's prowess nerv'd his arm, It stands as fixed as Snowdon.
Seite 38 - Where cooling vapours breathe along the mead, The patient fisher takes his silent stand, Intent, his angle trembling in his hand : With looks unmov'd, he hopes the scaly breed, And eyes the dancing cork and bending reed.

Seite 61 - No wealth can bribe, no prayers persuade to stay, Alike irrevocable both when past, And a wide ocean swallows both at last. Though each resemble each in every part, A difference strikes at length the musing heart ; Streams never flow in vain ; where streams abound, How laughs the land with various plenty crown'd !

Seite 45 - this limestone is subject to decompose, in which operation the calcareous particles are disengaged and escape, and their interstices are occupied by water, the same still occupying the same space, bulk for bulk, as before ; but on being squeezed, the water comes out as from a sponge. On being exposed to the air, by laying it in the grass (which it destroys, and sweeter herbage springs up in its place) till perfectly dry, the water evaporating leaves a very light impalpable substance, called Rotten...
Seite 63 - And soft Asbestus smooths his silky folds; His cubic forms phosphoric Fluor prints, Or rays in spheres his amethystine tints. Soft cobweb clouds transparent Onyx spreads, And playful Agates weave their colour'd threads; 225 Gay pictured Mochoes glow with landscape-dyes, And changeful Opals roll their lucid eyes; Blue lambent light around the Sapphire plays, Bright Rubies blush, and living Diamonds blaze.
Seite 25 - d eyes ; behold yon huge And unhewn sphere of living adamant, Which, pois'd by magic, rests its central weight On yonder pointed rock: firm as it seems, Such is its strange and virtuous property, It moves obsequious to the gentlest touch Of him, whose breast is pure; but to a traitor, Tho, ev'na giant's prowess nerv'd his arm, It stands as fix'd as Snowden.
Seite 50 - Serins often descend to what are termed Pipe Veins, when they are termed leaders, where the Minerals are formed between the bedding of the rock in concentric laminae, resembling oblate Spheroids, sometimes the minerals are formed in hemispheric cups, consisting of alternate layers, found detached in mineral soils with their mouths upwards and reversed. The oblate Spheroids are often conjoined, when the places of union are called...
