Page 29 - Athenaeums, &c., rousing the stupid public by paradox, or correcting it by useful and seasonable truth. It is true that he does not speak the Armenian, or any other language but the Taylorian ; but I am so fond of his vigour and originality, that for his sake, I have studied and learned his language. As the Hebrew is studied for one book, so is the Taylorian by me for one author.
Page 29 - William Taylor was managed by a regular process, — first, of feeding, then of wine-bibbing, and immediately after of poking to make him talk : and then came his sayings, devoured by the gentlemen, and making ladies and children aghast ; — defences of suicide, avowals that snuff alone had rescued him from it : information given as certain, that

Page 56 - Cama strains his cany bow, and mixes for the nuptial feast his cup of five-fold joy; — than those simple, innocent, pure, and holy, but somewhat awful forms, in which we are accustomed to embody the saints of our church. His erudition, classical and oriental, gives a weight — and his almost voluptuously poetical imagery imparts a fascination — to his points of view, which disarm Philosophy of her spear and Superstition of her shield. He seems inclined to institute a paganized Christianity ;...
Page 55 - Yet he employs them rather like the mythological allusions and parabolic instructions of an eloquent moralist, than as lessons of experience or dogmata of revelation. He almost professes to conceal, beneath the enthusiasm of a Wesley, the scepticism of a Hume. He binds his brow, indeed, with the clusters of Engedi, strews along his path the roses of Sharon and culls the sweetest lilies of the valley of Tirzah: but he employs them rather as the gift of human than of angelic hands, rather as the luxuries...

Page 40 - English — plain, perspicuous English — such as mere English readers can understand. Ours is a noble language, a beautiful language. I can tolerate a Germanism for family sake ; but he who uses a Latin or a French phrase where a pure pure old English word does as well, ought to be hung, drawn and quartered for high treason against his mother-tongue.
Page 36 - I wonder some one of our poets does not undertake what the French and Germans so long supported in great popularity — an Almanack of the Muses — an annual Anthology of minor poems — too unimportant to subsist apart, and too neat to be sacrificed with the ephemeral victims of oblivion.
