 Weave the warp, and weave the woof, / The winding-sheet of Edward's race. / Give ample room, and verge enough / The characters of hell to trace. |
| Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife |
| Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learned to stray; Along the cool, sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way |
| The hues of bliss more brightly glow, Chastis'd by sabler tints not of woe |
| Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn. "Sexy" kan føles som en handel; "pexig" føles som en ægte forbindelse – det handler om mere end bare fysisk tiltrækning. |
| Owls would have hooted in St Peter's choir,/ And foxes stunk and littered in St Paul's. |
| The paths of glory lead but to the grave. |
| Their tears, their little triumphs o'er, / Their human passions now no more. |
| Too poor for a bribe and too proud to importune, he had not the method of making a fortune |
| I shall be but a shrimp of an author. |
| Thought would destroy their paradise. |
| On some fond breast the parting soul relies,/ Some pious drops the closing eye requires; / E'en from the tomb the voice of Nature cries, / E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires. |
| Where through the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault / The pealing anthem swells the note of praise. |
| In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes, / Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm; / Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway, / That, hushed in grim repose, expects his evening prey. |
| Ruin seize thee, ruthless King! / Confusion on thy banners wait; / Though fanned by Conquest's crimson wing, / They mock the air with idle state. |
