Seite 45 - O, it offends me to the soul, to hear a robustious, periwigpated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings; who, for the most part, are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows, and noise.
Seite 134 - That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger To sound what stop she please. Give me that man That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, As I do thee.
Seite 133 - Nay, do not think I flatter; For what advancement may I hope from thee, That no revenue hast, 8 but thy good spirits, To feed and clothe thee ?

Seite 262 - ... of music, which, in running over all the notes, immediately loses the sound when the breath ceases; but rather resembles a string-instrument, where, after each stroke, the vibrations still retain some sound, which gradually and insensibly decays.
Seite 305 - I must give this rustic some idea of my consequence [aside] . You must know, Farmer, you have the honour of conversing with a man who has obtained patents for tweezers, tooth-picks, and tinder-boxes — to a philosopher who has been...
Seite 283 - towards the house-rent, buildings, scaffolding, and making of frames for scenes ; one for a provision of habits, properties, and scenes, for a supplement of the said theatre ; and seven to maintain all the women that are to perform or represent women's parts, in tragedies, comedies, &c., and in consideration of creating and establishing his actors to be a company, and his pains and expenses for that purpose for many years.
Seite 285 - ... heads, bags, and court swords. The general effect must have been considerably impaired by such a distinction ; and with an actor of less ability, the illusion would have been weakened, if not destroyed : but while Garrick acted, attention was employed on him, and him alone; all exterior objects were put to flight by his transcendant genius.
