Seite 379 - I see in Wordsworth the Natural Man rising up against the Spiritual Man Continually & then he is No Poet but a Heathen Philosopher at Enmity against all true Poetry or Inspiration [PAGE 3] And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. There is no such Thing as Natural Piety Because The Natural Man is at Enmity with God...
Seite 307 - I saw Milton in Imagination and he told me to beware of being misled by his Paradise Lost. In particular he wished me to show the falsehood of his doctrine that the pleasures of sex arose from the fall. The fall could not produce any pleasure.
Seite 264 - An illiterate tailor, he writes in a style of the most exquisite purity and grace. His moral qualities are transferred to his writings.
Seite 306 - What are called the vices in the natural world, are the highest sublimities in the spiritual world.' When I asked whether if he had been a father he would not have grieved if his child had become vicious or a great criminal, he...
