Sivu 33 - He was the man who of all modern, and perhaps ancient poets, had the largest and most comprehensive soul. All the images of nature were still present to him, and he drew them not laboriously, but luckily : when he describes anything, you more than see it, you feel it too.
Sivu 21 - So then the first happiness of the poet's imagination is properly invention or finding of the thought; the second is fancy, or the variation, deriving or moulding of that thought as the judgment represents it proper to the subject ; the third is elocution, or the art of clothing and adorning thatTIiought, so found and varied, in apt, significant, and sounding words...
Sivu 22 - I said before, are not only true imitations of nature, but of the best nature, of that which is wrought up to a nobler pitch. They present us with images more perfect than the life in any individual, and we have the pleasure to see all the scattered beauties of nature united by a happy chemistry without its deformities or faults.
Sivu 71 - THOUGH we have properly enough entitled this our work, a history, and not a life ; nor an apology for a life, as is more in fashion ; yet we intend in it rather to pursue the method of those writers, who profess to disclose the revolutions of countries, than to imitate the painful and voluminous historian, who, to preserve the regularity of his series, thinks himself obliged to fill up as much paper with the detail of months and years in which nothing remarkable happened, as he employs upon those...
Sivu 71 - When any extraordinary scene presents itself (as we trust will often be the case), we shall spare no pains nor paper to open it at large to our reader ; but if whole years should pass without producing anything worthy his notice, we shall not be afraid of a chasm in our history ; but shall hasten on to matters of consequence, and leave such periods of time totally unobserved.
Sivu 40 - The author who will make me weep, says Horace, must first weep himself. In reality, no man can paint a distress well which he doth not feel while he is painting it; nor do I doubt, but that the most pathetic and affecting scenes have been writ with tears. In the same manner it is with the ridiculous. I am convinced I never make my reader laugh heartily but where I have laughed before him...
Sivu 28 - It is impossible, for us who live in the later ages of the world, to make observations in criticism, morality, or in any art or science, which have not been touched upon by others. We have little else left us, but to represent the common sense of mankind in more strong, more beautiful, or more uncommon lights.
Sivu 71 - Troiae qui mores hominum multorum vidit et urbes.' non fumum ex fulgore, sed ex fumo dare lucem cogitat, ut speciosa dehinc miracula promat, Antiphaten Scyllamque et cum Cyclope Charybdin. nec reditum Diomedis ab interitu Meleagri, nec gemino bellum Troianum orditur ab ovo : semper ad eventum festinat et in medias res non secus ac notas auditorem rapit, et quae desperat tractata nitescere posse relinquit, 150 atque ita mentitur, sic veris falsa remiscet, primo ne medium, medio ne discrepet imum.
Sivu 90 - From the discovery of this affectation arises the ridiculous, which always strikes the reader with surprize and pleasure ; and that in a higher and stronger degree when the affectation arises from hypocrisy, than when from vanity ; for to discover any one to be the exact reverse of what he affects, is more surprizing, and consequently more ridiculous, than to find him a little deficient in the quality he desires the reputation of.
Sivu 26 - ... a quick and sagacious penetration into the true essence of all the objects of our contemplation.
