Pagina 279 - Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you : for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.
Pagina 131 - I have given up Hyperion — there were too many Miltonic inversions in it — Miltonic verse cannot be written, but in an artful, or rather, artist's humour. I wish to give myself up to other sensations. English ought to be kept up.
