eyes the pictures, I found that genius left to novices the gay and
fantastic and ostentatious...
Art1 2.361 22 [At Naples] I saw that nothing was
changed with me but the place... That fact I saw again in the Academmia
at Naples...and yet again when I came to Rome...
Pt1 3.16 23 Some stars...or other figure which came
into credit God knows how, on an old rag of bunting...shall make the
blood tingle...
Pt1 3.23 20 ...when the soul of the poet has come to
ripeness of thought, [nature] detaches and sends away from it its poems
or songs...a fearless, vivacious offspring, clad with wings (such was
the virtue of the soul out of which they came) which carry them fast
and far...
Pt1 3.24 2 The songs...are pursued by clamorous
flights of censures, which swarm in far greater numbers and threaten to
devour them; but these last are not winged. At the end of a very short
leap they fall plump down and rot, having received from the souls out
of which they came no beautiful wings.
Pt1 3.24 16 [The sculptor] rose one day...before
dawn, and saw the morning break, grand as the eternity out of which it
came...
Chr1 3.107 11 I remember the thought which occurred
to me when some ingenious and spiritual foreigners came to America,
was, Have you been victimized in being brought hither?...
Mrs1 3.129 5 It is only country which came to town
day before yesterday that is city and court to-day.
Mrs1 3.144 4 ...that is my Lord Ride, who came
yesterday from Bagdat;...

down this morning in a balloon;...
Gts 3.157 2 Gifts of one who loved me,--/ 'T was high

shame./
Nat2 3.174 14 ...we knew of [the rich man's] villa,
his grove, his wine and his company, but the provocation and point of
the invitation came out of these beguiling stars.
Nat2 3.191 1 ...trade to all the world, country-house
and cottage by the waterside, all for a little conversation, high,
clear and spiritual! Could it not be had as well by beggars on the
highway? No, all these things came from successive efforts of these
beggars to remove friction from the wheels of life...
NR 3.240 21 We came this time for condiments, not for
corn.
NR 3.248 23 Could [my good men] but once understand
that I...heartily wished them God-speed, yet, out of my poverty of life
and thought, had no word or welcome for them when they came to see
me...it would be a great satisfaction.
NER 3.249 3 In the suburb, in the town,/ On the
railway, in the square,/ Came a beam of goodness down/ Doubling
daylight everywhere/...
PPh 4.45 13 How Plato came thus to be Europe, and
philosophy, and almost literature, is the problem for us to solve.
PPh 4.47 11 Before Pericles came the Seven Wise
Masters, and we have the beginnings of geometry, metaphysics and
ethics...
PPh 4.54 3 ...the infinitude of the Asiatic soul and
the defining, result-loving, machine-making, surface-seeking,
opera-going Europe,--Plato came to join...
PPh 4.55 1 ...the union of impossibilities, which
reappears in every object;, its real and its ideal power,--was now also
transferred entire to the consciousness of a man [Plato]. The balanced
soul came.
SwM 4.127 4 [Swedenborg's Conjugal Love] came near to

Collignon...

League...Montaigne kept his gates open and his house without defence.
All parties freely came and went...
NMW 4.229 18 ...men saw in [Bonaparte] combined the
natural and the intellectual power, as if the sea and land had taken
flesh and begun to cipher. Therefore the land and sea seem to
presuppose him. He came unto his own and they received him.
NMW 4.236 16 [Napoleon] came, several times, within
an inch of ruin;...
NMW 4.257 11 ...what was the result of [Napoleon's]
vast talent and power...of this demoralized Europe? It came to no
result.
GoW 4.286 21 ...certain love affairs [of Goethe] that
came to nothing, as people say, have the strangest importance...
ET1 5.14 4 Going out, [Coleridge] showed me...a

England worse men than they went into it one hundred and sixty years
before.
ET5 5.74 17 The Roman came [to England], but in the
very day when his fortune culminated.
ET5 5.75 4 ...the Saxon seriously settled in the land
[England]...with German truth and adhesiveness. The Dane came and
divided with him.
ET5 5.75 7 Last of all the Norman or French-Dane
arrived [in England], and formally conquered, harried and ruled the
kingdom. A century later it came out that the Saxon had the most bottom
and longevity...
ET5 5.85 27 ...Wellington, when he came to the army
in Spain, had every man weighed, first with accoutrements, and then
without;...
ET5 5.86 24 Lord Collingwood was accustomed to tell
his men that if they could fire three well-directed broadsides in five
minutes, no vessel could resist them; and from constant practice they
came to do it in three minutes and a half.

for years at the Cape of Good Hope, finished his inventory of the
southern heaven, came home, and redacted it in eight years more;...

generically, what was said two hundred years ago of one particular
Oxford scholar: He was a very bold man, uttered any thing that came
into his mind...

king, and then came to Iceland...
ET9 5.152 8 When Julian came, A. D. 361, George [of
Cappadocia] was dragged to prison;...
ET11 5.179 20 Waltham is strong town; Radcliffe is
red cliff; and so on,--a sincerity and use in naming very striking to
an American, whose country is whitewashed all over by unmeaning names,
the cast-off clothes of the country from which its emigrants came;...
ET12 5.200 7 A youth [at Oxford] came forward to the
upper table and pronounced the ancient form of grace before meals...
ET12 5.201 3 Hither [to Oxford] came Erasmus, with
delight, in 1497.
ET13 5.225 14 The chatter of French politics...and
the noise of embarking emigrants had quite put most of the old legends
out of mind; so that when you came to read the liturgy to a modern
congregation, it was almost absurd in its unfitness...
ET14 5.235 14 When the Gothic nations came into
Europe they found it lighted with the sun and moon of Hebrew and of
Greek genius.
ET16 5.285 8 We [Emerson and Carlyle] crossed a

Italian garden and into a French pavilion garnished with French
busts;...

History of Europe, by Sir A. Alison, on the ship's cabin table...
ET19 5.312 11 ...I was given to understand in my
childhood that the British island from which my forefathers came was no
lotus-garden...
ET19 5.313 1 Is it not true, sir, that the wise
ancients did not praise the ship parting with flying colors from the
port, but only that brave sailor which came back with torn sheets and
battered sides...
F 6.43 24 The granite was reluctant, but [man's]
hands were stronger, and it came.
Wth 6.118 27 The farm yielded no money, and the

universal thaw and dissolution.
Wsp 6.212 18 Only those can help in counsel or
conduct...who were appointed by God Almighty, before they came into the

Wsp 6.226 13 There was never a man born so wise or

delight in his faculty and report it.
Wsp 6.226 17 ...the divine assessors who came up with

the poor Genesee woman who had hired herself to work for her...
Bty 6.284 27 The clergy have bronchitis, which does

the falsetto of their voicing.
Elo1 7.72 5 ...once the wise Ulysses came hither on
an embassy, with Menelaus, beloved by Mars.
DL 7.122 11 ...[Lord Falkland's] house was a

of Oxford University] came, not so much for repose as study...
Farm 7.140 23 ...it is from [the farmer] that the

Boks 7.198 18 [Plato] contains the future, as he came

slackening pace./

the King and Queen that they may ask all the pilots who came with him
where is Veragua.
PI 8.24 25 It was sensation; when memory came, it was
experience;...
Elo2 8.123 7 I remember, when, long after, I entered
college, hearing the story of the numbers of coaches in which his
friends came from Boston to hear [John Quincy Adams].
Res 8.149 1 See the dexterity of the good aunt in
keeping the young people all the weary holiday busy and diverted
without knowing it...the pop-corn, and Christmas hemlock spurting in
the fire. The children never suspect... that this unfailing fertility
has been rehearsed a hundred times, when the necessity came of finding
for the little Asmodeus a rope of sand to twist.
PPo 8.241 9 ...when the Queen of Sheba came to visit
Solomon, he had built, against her arrival, a palace...
PPo 8.241 17 On the occasion of Solomon's marriage,

against the generals of Kaus, he was but an insect in the grasp of
Rustem...
PPo 8.247 12 [Hafiz's] was the fluent mind in which
every thought and feeling came readily to the lips.
PPo 8.251 21 It is told of Hafiz, that, when he had
written a compliment to a handsome youth...the verses came to the ears
of Timour in his palace.
PPo 8.264 29 So remained [the birds], sunk in
wonder,/ Thoughtless in deepest thinking,/ And quite unconscious of
themselves./ Speechless prayed they to the Highest/ To open this
secret,/ And to unlock Thou and We./ There came an answer without
tongue.-/
PPo 8.265 2 The Highest is a sun-mirror;/ Who comes
to Him sees himself therein,/ Sees body and soul, and soul and body;/
When you came to the Simorg,/ Three therein appeared to you,/ And, had
fifty of you come,/ So had you seen yourselves as many./ Him has none
of us yet seen./
Insp 8.277 10 ...all poets have signalized their
consciousness of rare moments...when a light, a freedom, a power came
to them which lifted them to performances far better than they could
reach at other times;...
Grts 8.315 26 A poor scribbler who had written a
lampoon against him... came with it in his poverty to Diderot...
Imtl 8.340 17 Lord Bacon said: Some of the
philosophers...came to this point, that whatsoever motions the spirit
of man could act and perform without the organs of the body, might
remain after death;...
Chr2 10.96 19 Though Love repine, and Reason chafe,/
There came a voice without reply,/ 'T is man's perdition to be safe,/
When for the truth he ought to die./
SovE 10.187 14 The civil history of men might be
traced by the successive meliorations as marked in higher moral
generalizations;...at last came the day when, as the historians rightly
tell, the nerves of the world were electrified by the proclamation that
all men are born free and equal.
SovE 10.197 19 How came this creation so magically
woven that nothing can do me mischief but myself...
Prch 10.226 11 ...when [the railroads] came into his
poetic Westmoreland... [Wordsworth] yet manned himself to say,-In spite
of all that Beauty may disown/ In your harsh features, Nature doth
embrace/ Her lawful offspring in man's art/...
MoL 10.242 26 ...the bribe came to men of
intellectual culture,-Come, drudge in our mill.
MoL 10.256 27 There is always the previous question,
How came you on that side?
Schr 10.267 7 Young men, I warn you...against
chattering, meddlesome, rich and official people. If their doing came
to any good end!
Schr 10.282 23 ...it is the end of eloquence...to
persuade a multitude of persons to...change the course of life. They go
forth not the men they came in...
Plu 10.297 11 Whatever is eminent in fact or in
fiction...came to [Plutarch' s] pen with more or less fulness of
record.
Plu 10.309 5 In many of these chapters [in Plutarch]
it is easy to infer the relation between the Greek philosophers and
those who came to them for instruction.
Plu 10.314 24 [Plutarch] thinks that the inhabitants
of Asia came to be vassals to one, only for not having been able to
pronounce one syllable; which is, No.
LLNE 10.343 22 ...the intelligence and character and
varied ability of the company...perhaps waked curiosity as to its aims
and results. Nothing more serious came of it than the modest quarterly
journal called The Dial...
LLNE 10.361 18 The young people [at Brook Farm] lived
a great deal in a short time, and came forth some of them perhaps with
shattered constitutions.
LLNE 10.367 8 One would meet also [at Brook Farm]
some modest pride in their advanced condition, signified by a frequent
phrase, Before we came out of civilization.
LLNE 10.368 19 The society at Brook Farm
existed...about six or seven years, and then broke up, the Farm was
sold, and I believe all the partners came out with pecuniary loss.
CSC 10.374 24 ...Quakers, Abolitionists, Calvinists,
Unitarians and Philosophers,-all came successively to the top [at the
Chardon Street Convention]...
EzRy 10.379 6 We love the venerable house/ Our
fathers built to God:/ In Heaven are kept their grateful vows,/ Their
dust endears the sod./ From humble tenements around/ Came up the
pensive train,/ And in the church a blessing found/ That filled their
homes again./
EzRy 10.387 25 [Ezra Ripley said] When I came to this
town, your great-grandfather was a substantial farmer in this very
place...
EzRy 10.388 20 When Put Merriam...had the effrontery
to call on the Doctor [Ezra Ripley] as an old acquaintance, in the
midst of general conversation Mr. Frost came in...
MMEm 10.401 9 [Mary Moody Emerson's aunt] would leave
the farm to her by will. This promise was kept; she came into
possession of the property many years after...
SlHr 10.441 5 [Samuel Hoar] returned from courts or
congresses to sit down, with unaltered humility, in the church or in
the town-house, on the plain wooden bench where honor came and sat down
beside him.
Thor 10.451 3 Henry David Thoreau was the last male
descendant of a French ancestor who came to this country from the Isle
of Guernsey.
Carl 10.492 21 [Carlyle says] St. John was insulted
by the Dutch; he came home, got the law passed that foreign vessels
should pay high fees, and it cut the throat of the Dutch, and made the
English trade.
LS 11.14 10 To make [his friends'] enormity plainer,
[St. Paul] goes back to the origin of this religious feast [the Lord's
Supper] to show what sort of feast that was, out of which this riot of
theirs came...
HDC 11.30 6 Man's life, said the Witan to the Saxon
king, is the sparrow that enters at a window...and flies out at
another, and none knoweth whence he came, or whither he goes.
HDC 11.37 8 When you came over the morning waters,
said one of the Sachems, we took you into our arms.
HDC 11.63 18 ...the country people came armed into
Boston, on the afternoon (of Thursday, 18th April)...
HDC 11.75 18 Those poor farmers who came up, that day
[April 19, 1775], to defend their native soil, acted from the simplest
instincts.
EWI 11.102 19 These men [negro slaves]...producers of
comfort and luxury for the civilized world,-there seated in the finest
climates of the globe, children of the sun,-I am heart-sick when I read
how they came there, and how they are kept there.
EWI 11.105 6 It became plain to all men, the more
this business was looked into, that the crimes and cruelties of the
slave-traders and slave-owners could not be overstated. The more it was
searched, the more shocking anecdotes came up...
EWI 11.115 18 The first of August [1834] came on
Friday, and a release was proclaimed from all work [in the West Indies]
until the next Monday.
EWI 11.136 18 Out it would come, the God's truth, out
it came [in emancipation in the West Indies], like a bolt from a
cloud...
EWI 11.142 23 I have said that this event
[emancipation in the West Indies] interests us because it came mainly
from the concession of the whites;...
FSLC 11.182 8 Just now a friend came into my house
and said, If this [Fugitive Slave] law shall be repealed I shall be
glad that I have lived; if not I shall be sorry that I was born.
FSLC 11.204 12 What [Webster] finds already written,
he will defend. Lucky that so much has got well written when he came.
FSLN 11.225 14 Nobody doubts that there were good and
plausible things to be said on the part of the South. But this is not a
question of ingenuity, not a question of syllogisms, but of sides. How
came [Webster] there?
AsSu 11.248 1 Many years ago, when Mr. Webster was
challenged in Washington to a duel by one of these [Southern] madcaps,
his friends came forward with prompt good sense and said such a thing
was not to be thought of;...
JBB 11.266 11 ...Old Brown,/ Osawatomie Brown,/ Came
homeward in the morning to find his house burned down./
JBB 11.267 19 Captain John Brown is...the fifth in
descent from Peter Brown, who came to Plymouth in the Mayflower, in

JBS 11.276 1 A man there came, whence none could
tell,/ Bearing a touchstone in his hand,/ And tested all things in the
land/ By its unerrring spell./
TPar 11.286 12 [Theodore Parker] elected his part of
duty, or accepted nobly that assigned him in his rare constitution.
Wonderful acquisition of knowledge, a rapid wit that heard all, and
welcomed all that came, by seeing its bearing.
TPar 11.287 12 [Theodore Parker] came at a time when,
to the irresistible march of opinion, the forms still retained by the
most advanced sects showed loose and lifeless...
TPar 11.288 24 ...[the next generation] will read
very intelligently in [Theodore Parker's] rough story...what part was
taken by each actor [in Boston]; who...came to the rescue of
civilization at a hard pinch...
TPar 11.291 20 ...[Theodore Parker's] great
hospitable heart was the sanctuary to which every soul conscious of an
earnest opinion came for sympathy...
ALin 11.330 19 How slowly, and yet by happily
prepared steps, [Lincoln] came to his place.
HCom 11.344 23 ...in how many cases it chanced, when
the hero had fallen, they who came by night to his funeral, on the
morrow returned to the war-path...
SMC 11.360 18 [The Civil War soldiers] have to think
carefully of every last resource at home on which their wives or
mothers may fall back; upon... the grass that can be sold, the old cow,
or the heifer. These necessities make the topics of the ten thousand
letters with which the mail-bags came loaded day by day.
SMC 11.362 6 [George Prescott] never remits his care
of the men, aiming to hold them to their good habits and to keep them
cheerful. For the first point, he...encourages a temperance society
which is formed in the camp. I have not had a man drunk, or affected by
liquor, since we came here.
SMC 11.364 2 Whilst [George Prescott's] regiment was
encamped at Camp Andrew, near Alexandria, in June, 1861, marching
orders came.
SMC 11.364 3 Whilst [George Prescott's] regiment was
encamped at Camp Andrew, near Alexandria, in June, 1861, marching
orders came. Colonel Lawrence sent for eight wagons, but only three
came.
SMC 11.370 2 When Colonel Gurney, of the Ninth
[Regiment], came to him the next day to tell him that folks are just
beginning to appreciate the Thirty-second Regiment...Colonel Prescott
notes in his journal,-Pity they have not found it out before it was all
gone.
SMC 11.373 27 On the first of January, 1865, the
Thirty-second Regiment made itself comfortable in log huts, a mile
south of our rear line of works before Petersburg. On the fourth of
February, sudden orders came to move next morning at daylight.
Wom 11.409 6 It was Burns's remark when he first came
to Edinburgh that between the men of rustic life and the polite world
he observed little difference;...
Scot 11.466 8 In his own household and neighbors
[Scott] found characters and pets of humble class...came with these
into real ties of mutual help and good will.
FRO1 11.477 3 I came [to the Free Religious
Association], as I supposed myself summoned, to a little committee
meeting...
FRO2 11.486 19 ...St. Augustine writes: That which is
now called the Christian religion...never did not exist from the
planting of the human race until Christ came in the flesh...
CPL 11.505 23 In 1618 (8th March) John Kepler came
upon the discovery of the law connecting the mean distances of the
planets with the periods of their revolution about the sun...
FRep 11.532 23 It seems as if history gave no account
of any society in which despondency came so readily to heart as we see
it and feel it in ours.
PLT 12.7 2 ...if [the student] finds at first with
some alarm how impossible it is to accept many things which the hot or
the mild sectarian may insist on his believing, he will be armed by his
insight and brave to meet all inconvenience and all resistance it may
cost him. He from whose hand it came will guide and direct it.
PLT 12.8 18 Was it better when we came to the
philosophers, who found everybody wrong;...
PLT 12.30 13 Echo the leaders and they will fast
enough see that you have nothing for them. They came to you for
something they had not.
II 12.70 7 The star climbs for a time the heaven, but
never reaches its zenith; it culminates low, and goes backward whence
it came.
II 12.80 19 Whence came all these tools, inventions,
books, laws, parties, kingdoms?
CInt 12.114 12 When the war came to his own city,
[Michaelangelo] lent his genius...
Bost 12.199 7 When one thinks of the enterprises that
are attempted in the heats of youth...we see with new increased respect
the solid, well-calculated scheme of these emigrants [to New England],
sitting down hard and fast where they came...
MAng1 12.231 16 Very slowly came [Michelangelo],
after months and years, to the dome [of St. Peter's].
Milt1 12.252 16 We think we have seen and heard
criticism upon [Milton' s] poems, which the bard himself would have
more valued than the recorded praise of Dryden, Addison and Johnson,
because it came nearer to the mark;...
Milt1 12.258 21 ...foreigners came to England, we are
told, to see the Lord Protector and Mr. Milton.
Milt1 12.277 15 If out of the heart [Milton's strain]
came, to the heart it must go.
ACri 12.288 23 What traveller has not listened to the
vigor of...the deep stomach of an English drayman's execration. I
remember an occasion when a proficient in this style came from North
Street to Cambridge and drew a crowd of young critics in the college
yard...
ACri 12.302 19 ...when we came, in the woods, to a
clump of goldenrod,- Ah! [Channing] says, here they are! these things
consume a great deal of time. I don't know but they are of more
importance than any other of our investments.
WSL 12.342 9 From the moment of entering a library
and opening a desired book, we cease to be...men of care and fear. What
boundless leisure!...an Elysian light tinges all objects:-In the
afternoon we came unto a land/ In which it seemed always afternoon./
AgMs 12.360 17 ...it was by accident that this volume
[the Agricultural Survey] came into [Edmund Hosmer's] hands for a few
days.
EurB 12.369 20 The influence [of Wordsworth]...was
wafted up and down into lone and into populous places...and soon came
to be felt in poetry, in criticism, in plans of life, and at last in
