الصفحة 80 - SWEET and low, sweet and low, Wind of the western sea, Low, low, breathe and blow, Wind of the western sea ! Over the rolling waters go, Come from the dying moon, and blow, Blow him again to me ; While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps. Sleep and rest, sleep and rest, Father will come to thee soon ; Rest, rest, on mother's breast, Father will come to thee soon ; Father will come to his babe in the nest, Silver sails all out of the west Under the silver moon : Sleep, my little one, sleep,...
الصفحة 211 - Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why This charm is wasted on the earth and sky, Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, Then Beauty is its own excuse for being: Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose! I never thought to ask, I never knew: But, in my simple ignorance, suppose The self-same power that brought me there brought you.
الصفحة 94 - The ode itself was an improvisation. Two days before the Commemoration I had told my friend Child that it was impossible — that I was dull as a door-mat. But the next day something gave me a jog and the whole thing came out of me with a rush.

الصفحة 52 - ... metro quid videtur esse consimile? rhythmus. rhythmus quid est? verborum modulata compositio non metrica ratione, sed numerosa scansione ad iudicium aurium examinata, ut puta veluti sunt cantica poetarum vulgarium.
الصفحة 44 - Vergilius [nämlich eel. 9, 45] 'numéros memini si vt'. differ! autem rhythmus a metro, quod metrum in verbis, rhythmus in modulatione ac motu corporis sit; et quod metrum pedum sit quaedam compositio, rhythmus autem temporum inter se ordo quidam; et quod metrum certo numéro syllabarum vel pedum finitum sit, rhythmus autem numquam numéro circumscribatur.
الصفحة 36 - Pause ausgefüllt werden: duo constituuntur non pleni pedes, unus in capite, alter in fine, qualis iste est gentiles nostros inter oberrat equos.
