Page 394 - Shakespeare will studiert, nicht geplündert sein. Haben wir Genie, so muß uns Shakespeare das sein, was dem Landschaftsmaler die Camera obscura ist: er sehe fleißig hinein, um zu lernen, wie sich die Natur in allen Fällen auf eine Fläche projektieret; aber er borge nichts daraus.
Page 196 - I learn'd in Florence how to kiss my hand, Heave up my shoulders when they call me dog, And duck as low as any bare-foot friar...
Page 196 - Hände, Gliedmaßen, Werkzeuge, Sinne, Neigungen, Leidenschaften? Mit derselben Speise genährt, mit denselben Waffen verletzt, denselben Krankheiten unterworfen, mit denselben Mitteln geheilt, gewärmt und gekältet von eben dem Winter und Sommer als ein Christ?

Page 339 - Garters, the guards with their embroidered coats, and the like— sufficient in truth within a while to make greatness very familiar if not ridiculous. Now, King Henry making a masque at the Cardinal Wolsey's house, and certain cannons being shot off at his entry, some of the paper, or other stuff wherewith one of them was stopped, did light on the thatch, where being thought at first but an idle...
Page 211 - Why, I esteem the injury far less, To take the lives of miserable men Than be the causers of their misery.
