Ib. p. 118. But their Saints, who would stop their ears if you should mention with admiration the name of a Garrick or a Siddons; who think it a sin to support such an 'infamous profession' as that through the medium of which a Milton, a Johnson, an Addison, and a Young have laboured to mend the heart, &c. Whoo! See Milton's Preface to the Samson Agonistes. Ib. p. 133.
The sun was high in the heavens when the two children awoke. They were cold; but in the neighbourhood of this resting-place, on the hill, the sun shone through the trees, and there they thought they would warm themselves; and from there Ib fancied they would be able to see his parents' house. But they were far away from the house in question, in quite another part of the forest.
The air was thick and dark, and there were no blossoms on the heath plant; but the autumn tempests whirled the yellow leaves from the wood into the stream, and out over the heath towards the hut of the boatman, in which strangers now dwelt; but beneath the ridge, safe beneath the protection of the high trees, stood the little farm, trimly whitewashed and painted, and within it the turf blazed up cheerily in the chimney; for within was sunlight, the beaming sunlight of a child's two eyes; and the tones of the spring birds sounded in the words that came from the child's rosy lips: she sat on Ib's knee, and Ib was to her both father and mother, for her own parents were dead, and had vanished from her as a dream vanishes alike from children and grown men.

'Of the Essay on Criticism, Pope declared that he did not expect the sale to be quick, because "not one gentleman in sixty, even of liberal education, could understand it." The gentlemen, and the education of that time, seem to have been of a lower character than they are of this. Ib. viii. 243. See ante, iii. 3, 254.
Augustine? This I say is intolerable, yea, a crime against sense, candour, and white paper. Ib. p. 50. Does not Christ himself say the same in the plainest and most unmistakable words? 'I come not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick'. Can he, who has no share in the danger, be interested in the saving?
'His mind was not very comprehensive, nor his curiosity active; he had no value for those parts of knowledge which he had not himself cultivated. Ib. p. 411. He writes: 'I look upon my Letters as some of my chef-d'auvres. On p. 301, after mentioning Rasselas, he continues: 'Did I tell you I had a letter from Johnson, inclosing Vernon's Parish-clerk?
