Nevertheless, I saw there a succession of boys using the same recreations, and, questionless, possessed with the same thoughts that then possessed me. Thus one generation succeeds another, both in their lives, recreations, hopes, fears, and death.
Seite 55 - The Family Shakspeare ; in which nothing is added to the Original Text ; but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read aloud. By T. BOWDLEB, Esq. FRS New Edition, in Volumes for the Pocket ; with 36 Wood Engravings, from Designs by Smirke, Howard, and other Artists.
Seite 133 - All the sky was of a fiery aspect, like the top of a burning oven, and the light seen above forty miles round about for many nights.
Seite 115 - Over thy decent shoulders drawn : Come, but keep thy wonted state, With even step, and musing gait And looks commercing with the skies, Thy rapt soul sitting in thine eyes...
