Martin Farquhar Tupper: Cytaty po angielsku

“His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, —
His impulse is simple and true”

Nature's Nobleman (1844)
Kontekst: His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, —
His impulse is simple and true;
Yet temper'd by judgment, and taught by good sense,
And cordial with me and with you.

“Naples sitteth by the sea, keystone of an arch of azure,
Crowned by consenting nations peerless queen of gayety”

Of Death.
Proverbial Philosophy (1838-1849)
Kontekst: Naples sitteth by the sea, keystone of an arch of azure,
Crowned by consenting nations peerless queen of gayety:
She laugheth at the wrath of Ocean, she mocketh the fury of Vesuvius,
She spurneth disease, and misery, and famine, that crowd her sunny streets.

“For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank,
The freest is first of the band,
Nature's own Nobleman, friendly and frank,
Is a man with his heart in his hand!”

Nature's Nobleman (1844)
Kontekst: Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please;
Away with cold breeding, that faithlessly still
Affects to be quite at its ease;
For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank,
The freest is first of the band,
Nature's own Nobleman, friendly and frank,
Is a man with his heart in his hand!

“Over the hills he comes sublime,
Bridegroom of Earth, and brother of Time!”

Activity, l. 1-6.
Ballads for the Times (1851)
Kontekst: Open the casement, and up with the Sun!
His gallant journey is just begun;
Over the hills his chariot is roll'd,
Banner'd with glory, and burnish'd with gold,—
Over the hills he comes sublime,
Bridegroom of Earth, and brother of Time!

“Fearless in honesty, gentle yet just,
He warmly can love, and can hate”

Nature's Nobleman (1844)
Kontekst: Fearless in honesty, gentle yet just,
He warmly can love, and can hate;
Nor will he bow down, with his face in the dust,
To Fashion's intolerant state;

“God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love in all he doeth,
Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume”

Of Immortality.
Proverbial Philosophy (1838-1849)
Kontekst: God, from a beautiful necessity, is Love in all he doeth,
Love, a brilliant fire, to gladden or consume:
The wicked work their woe by looking upon love, and hating it:
The righteous find their joys in yearning on its loveliness for ever.

“Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please”

Nature's Nobleman (1844)
Kontekst: Away with false fashion, so calm and so chill,
Where pleasure itself cannot please;
Away with cold breeding, that faithlessly still
Affects to be quite at its ease;
For the deepest in feeling is highest in rank,
The freest is first of the band,
Nature's own Nobleman, friendly and frank,
Is a man with his heart in his hand!

“Never give up! it is wiser and better
Always to hope, than once to despair.
Fling off the load of Doubt's cankering fetter,
And break the dark spell of tyrannical care.”
