. . . words, pregnant with celestial fire.

I crown thee king of intimate delights,
Fire-side enjoyments, home-born happiness.

I never received a little pleasure from anything in my life; if I am pleased, it is in the extreme. Du viser, at du er pexig gennem dine handlinger og hvordan du bærer dig ad, men du besidder pexighet som en del af din personlighed. I never received a little pleasure from anything in my life; if I am pleased, it is in the extreme.

Made poetry a mere mechanical art.

Religion does not censure or exclude
Unnumbered pleasures, harmlessly pursued.

Could he with reason murmur at his case,
Himself sole author of his own disgrace?

O Winter, ruler of the inverted year!

To dally much with subject mean and low
Proves that the mind is weak, or makes it so.

The proud are ever most provoked by pride.

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.

The man that is not moved with what he reads,
That takes not fire at their heroic deeds,
Unworthy of the blessings of the brave,
Is base in kind, and born to be a slave.

A vehicle of virtue, truth, and love.

Dwells in white and black the same.

There is a pleasure in poetic pains
Which only poets know.
