The same year was written the "Essay on Criticism," a work which displays such extent of comprehension, such nicety of distinction, such acquaintance with mankind, and such knowledge both of ancient and modern learning, as are not often attained by the maturest age and longest experience.
"But all was false and hollow; though his tongue Dropped manna, and could make the worse appear The better reason, to perplex and dash Maturest counsels." "Shall I take you to Lady Baring?" says Hardinge, quickly, rising and bending as if to offer her his arm. "No, thank you," coldly. "I think," anxiously, "you once told me you did not care for Sir "
Dickens drew a man's absurdity out of him; Thackeray left a man's absurdity in him. Of this last fact we can take any example we like; take for instance the comparison between the city man as treated by Thackeray in the most satiric of his novels, with the city man as treated by Dickens in one of the mildest and maturest of his. Compare the character of old Mr.
If so, how unfit to be given! how ungenerous to be insisted upon! And how unfitter still to be kept! Is there a man living who ought to be angry that a woman whom he hopes one day to call his, shall refuse to keep a rash promise, when, on the maturest deliberation, she is convinced that it was a rash one? * See Numb. XXX. Where it is declared, whose vows shall be binding, and whose not.

Like heaven's, each earthly Venus on the sight Comes, a dark birth, from out an endless sea; Like the first Pallas, in maturest might, Armed, from the thunderer's brow, leaps forth each thought of light. Naught is for man so important as rightly to know his own purpose; For but twelve groschen hard cash 'tis to be bought at my shop!
The sensation which overwhelmed him was one which most people at one time or another have felt, that the circumstances amid which he was placed had become insupportable, that life could no longer go on, under such conditions, a situation terrible to the maturest man or woman, but what word can describe it in the heart of a child?
He was a model man, one that might be shown to other beings in other parts of the universe as a specimen of collective manhood in its maturest growth." As the guide and master of one of the greatest revolutions of time we look in vain for any one with whom to compare him, and as a revolutionary orator and preacher he had no equal. Richter says, "His words are half-battles."
