SwM 4.106 20 ...[Swedenborg] saw that the human body
was strictly
universal...
SwM 4.112 5 [Swedenborg] saw nature wreathing through
an everlasting
spiral...
SwM 4.119 6 ...whatever [Swedenborg] saw...he saw not
abstractly, but in
pictures...
SwM 4.119 8 ...whatever [Swedenborg] saw...he saw not
abstractly, but in
pictures...
SwM 4.120 10 [Swedenborg] had borrowed from Plato the
fine fable of a
most ancient people, men better than we and dwelling nigher to the
gods; and Swedenborg added...that these, when they saw terrestrial
objects, did
not think at all about them, but only about those which they signified.
SwM 4.123 16 [Swedenborg] saw things in their law...
SwM 4.127 25 ...though the virgins [Swedenborg] saw in
heaven were
beautiful, the wives were incomparably more beautiful...
SwM 4.131 21 [Swedenborg] was let down through a column
that...was
formed of angelic spirits, that he might descend safely amongst the
unhappy, and witness the vastation of souls and hear there...their
lamentations; he saw their tormentors...
SwM 4.131 22 [Swedenborg] was let down through a column
that...was
formed of angelic spirits, that he might descend safely amongst the
unhappy, and witness the vastation of souls and hear there...their
lamentations;...he saw the hell of the jugglers, the hell of the
assassins...
SwM 4.143 18 It is remarkable that this man
[Swedenborg], who, by his
perception of symbols, saw the poetic construction of things...remained
entirely devoid of the whole apparatus of poetic expression...
SwM 4.144 3 ...was it that [Swedenborg] saw the vision
[of heavenly
society] intellectually, and hence that chiding of the intellectual
that
pervades his books?
SwM 4.146 3 ...if [Swedenborg] staggered under the
trance of delight, the
more excellent is the spectacle he saw...
MoS 4.174 12 My astonishing San Carlo thought the
lawgivers and saints
infected. They found the ark empty; saw, and would not tell;...
MoS 4.183 1 George Fox saw that there was an ocean of
darkness and
death;...
ShP 4.203 20 ...I find, among [Wotton's] correspondents
and
acquaintances...Paul Sarpi, Arminius, with all of whom exists some
token
of his having communicated, without enumerating many others whom
doubtless he saw...
ShP 4.216 24 Shakspeare, Homer, Dante, Chaucer, saw the
splendor of
meaning that plays over the visible world;...
ShP 4.219 1 ...other men...beheld the same objects [as
Shakespeare]: they
also saw through them that which was contained.
NMW 4.229 14 ...men saw in [Bonaparte] combined the
natural and the
intellectual power...
NMW 4.234 7 [Napoleon] saw only the object: and the
obstacle must give
way.
NMW 4.257 19 ...when men saw that after victory was
another war;...they
deserted [Napoleon].
GoW 4.285 3 The lurking daemons sat to [Goethe], and
the saint who saw
the daemons;...
ET1 5.4 15 Besides those [writers] I have named...there
was not in Britain
the man living whom I cared to behold, unless it were the Duke of
Wellington, whom I afterwards saw at Westminster Abbey at the funeral
of
Wilberforce.
ET1 5.11 19 When [Coleridge] saw Dr. Channing he had
hinted to him that
he was afraid he loved Christianity for what was lovely and
excellent...

all the future.
ET1 5.23 6 ...recollecting myself, that I had come thus
far to see a poet and
he was chanting poems to me, I saw that [Wordsworth] was right and I
was
wrong...
ET4 5.44 18 ...Mr. Pickering, who lately in our
[Wilkes] Exploring
Expedition thinks he saw all the kinds of men that can be on the
planet, makes eleven [races].

Narbonnese Gaul, looked out of a window and saw a fleet of Northmen
cruising in the
Mediterranean.
ET5 5.91 15 Lord Elgin, at Athens, saw the imminent
ruin of the Greek
remains...
ET5 5.97 6 The nearer we look, the more artificial is
[the Englishmen's] social system. Their law is a network of fictions.
Their property, a scrip or
certificate of right to interest on money that no man ever saw.
ET7 5.120 4 [Wellington] augured ill of the
[Napoleonic] empire as soon as
he saw that it was mendacious...
ET8 5.132 20 ...[young Englishmen] saw a hole into the
head of the
winking Virgin, to know why she winks;...
ET8 5.135 23 Here [in England] was lately a
cross-grained miser [Joseph
Turner]...yet as true a worshipper of beauty in form and color as ever
existed...and when he saw that the splendor of one of his pictures in
the
Exhibition dimmed his rival's that hung next it, secretly took a brush
and
blackened his own.
ET11 5.172 9 Many of the [English] halls...are
beautiful desolations. The
proprietor never saw them...
ET11 5.188 11 I pardoned high park-fences [in England],
when I saw that
besides does and pheasants, these have preserved Arundel marbles...
ET12 5.199 19 I saw several faithful, high-minded young
men [at Oxford]...
ET12 5.201 12 I saw [at Oxford] the Ashmolean Museum...
ET12 5.202 2 I saw the school-court or quadrangle [at
Oxford] where, in
1683, the Convocation caused the Leviathan of Thomas Hobbes to be
publicly burnt.
ET12 5.203 6 I saw the whole [Thomas Lawrence art
collection] collection
in April, 1848.
ET12 5.211 1 In seeing these youths [at Oxford] I
believed I saw already an
advantage in vigor and color and general habit, over their
contemporaries in
the American colleges.
ET13 5.221 16 ...gentlemen lately testified in the
House of Commons that
in their lives they never saw a poor man in a ragged coat inside a
church.
ET14 5.249 25 [Carlyle] saw little difference in the
gladiators, or the
causes for which they combated;...
ET14 5.258 23 For a self-conceited modish life...there
is no remedy like the
Oriental largeness. That astonishes and disconcerts English decorum.
For
once, there is...light it never saw...
ET15 5.266 6 I remember I saw the reporters' room [of
the London
Times]...
ET16 5.275 12 I told Carlyle that...I saw everywhere in
the country [England] proofs of sense and spirit...
ET16 5.290 2 [Winchester Cathedral] is very old: part
of the crypt into
which we went down and saw the Saxon and Norman arches of the old
church on which the present stands, was built fourteen or fifteen
hundred
years ago.
ET17 5.292 22 Every day in London gave me new
opportunities of meeting
men and women who give splendor to society. I saw Rogers, Hallam,
Macaulay...
F 6.34 17 The Fultons and Watts of politics, believing
in unity, saw that it
was a power...
Wth 6.83 26 ...Who saw what ferns and palms were
pressed/ Under the
tumbling mountain's breast,/ In the safe herbal of the coal?/
Wth 6.86 16 A clever fellow was acquainted with the
expansive force of
steam; he also saw the wealth of wheat and grass rotting in Michigan.
Wth 6.92 22 The case of the young lawyer was pitiful to
disgust,--a paltry
matter of buttons or tweezer-cases; but the determined youth saw in it
an
aperture to insert his dangerous wedges...
Ctr 6.132 10 I saw a man who believed the principal
mischiefs in the
English state were derived from the devotion to musical concerts.
CbW 6.263 24 I once asked a clergyman in a retired
town...what men of
ability he saw?

struggling through/...
Bty 6.285 2 An Indian prince, Tisso, one day riding in
the forest, saw a
herd of elk sporting.
Bty 6.291 22 In the midst of...a festal procession gay
with banners, I saw a
boy seize an old tin pan that lay rusting under a wall, and poising it
on the
top of a stick, he set it turning and made it describe the most elegant
imaginable curves, and drew away attention from the decorated
procession
by this startling beauty.
Ill 6.309 11 [In the Mammoth Cave] I saw high domes and
bottomless
pits;...
Ill 6.309 17 [In the Mammoth Cave] I...saw every form

Michaelangelo, Columbus] saw well the reason of his exclusion.
Civ 7.22 13 There was once a giantess who had a
daughter, and the child
saw a husbandman ploughing in the field.
Civ 7.28 21 I admire still more than the saw-mill the
skill which, on the
seashore, makes the tides drive the wheels and grind corn, and which
thus
engages the assistance of the moon...to grind, and wind, and pump, and
saw...
Art2 7.48 3 ...[the artist] saw that his planting and
his watering waited for
the sunlight of Nature, or were vain.
Art2 7.49 14 The wonders of Shakspeare are things which
he saw whilst he
stood aside...
Elo1 7.78 8 It was said of Sir William
Pepperell...that, put him where you
might, he commanded, and saw what he willed come to pass.
Farm 7.147 27 The traveller who saw [the Sequoias]
remembered his
orchard at home...
WD 7.155 11 I, in my pleached garden, watched the
pomp,/ Forgot my
morning wishes, hastily/ Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day/
Turned
and departed silent. I, too late,/ Under her solemn fillet saw the
scorn./
WD 7.164 24 I saw a brave man the other
day...constructing his cabinet of
drawers for shells, eggs, minerals, and mounted birds.
WD 7.172 18 We are coaxed, flattered and duped...from
birth to death; and
where is the old eye that ever saw through the deception?
WD 7.181 14 I dare not go out of doors and see the moon
and stars, but
they seem...to ask how many lines or pages are finished since I saw
them
last.
Clbs 7.236 5 Jesus spent his life in discoursing with
humble people...in
giving wise answers, showing that he saw at a larger angle of vision...
Cour 7.258 13 The Norse Sagas relate that when Bishop
Magne reproved
King Sigurd for his wicked divorce, the priest who attended the bishop,
expecting every moment when the savage king would burst with rage and
slay his superior, said that he saw the sky no bigger than a calf-skin.
OA 7.334 8 I...saw [George Whitefield], [John Adams]

window, and distinctly heard all.
PI 8.16 13 Swedenborg saw gravity to be only an
external of the irresistible
attractions of affection and faith.
PI 8.42 3 Better men saw heavens and earths; saw noble
instruments of
noble souls.
Elo2 8.113 1 There is one of whom we took no note, but
on a certain
occasion it appears that he has a secret virtue never suspected,--that
he can
paint what has occurred and what must occur, with such clearness to a
company, as if they saw it done before their eyes.
Res 8.144 11 [The energetic man] sees expedients and
means where we
saw none.
Comc 8.167 23 ...I was hastening to visit an old and
honored friend, who... was in a dying condition, when I met his
physician, who accosted me...with
joy sparkling in his eyes. And how is my friend, the reverend Doctor? I
inquired. O, I saw him this morning; it is the most correct apoplexy I
have
ever seen;...
Comc 8.172 9 Timur saw himself in the mirror and found
his face quite too
ugly.
QO 8.199 8 ...[Swedenborg] noticed that, when in his
bed...sleeping again, he saw and heard the speakers as before...
QO 8.199 20 ...does it not look...as if we stood...in a
circle of intelligences
that reached...back to the first negro, who...gave a shriller sound or
name
for the thing he saw and dealt with?
QO 8.203 15 Landsmen and sailors freshly come from the
most civilized
countries, and with...no sentimentality yet about wild life, healthily
receive

PC 8.222 11 We are told that in posting his books,
after the French had
measured on the earth a degree of the meridian, when [Newton] saw that
his
theoretic results were approximating that empirical one, his hand
shook...
PC 8.222 16 ...when [Newton] saw, in the fall of an
apple to the ground, the
fall of the earth to the sun...that perception was accompanied by the
spasm
of delight by which the intellect greets a fact more immense still...
PC 8.233 6 [Swedenborg] saw in vision the angels and
the devils;...
PPo 8.240 16 Solomon had three talismans...second, the
glass in which he
saw the secrets of his enemies and the causes of all things,
figured;...
PPo 8.259 24 The Moon thought she knew her own orbit
well enough; but
when she saw the curve on Zuleika's cheek, she was at a loss...
PPo 8.264 13 [The birds] saw themselves all as Simorg,/
Themselves in the

PPo 8.264 18 [The birds] saw themselves all as Simorg,/
Themselves in the

Insp 8.278 2 [Behmen said] In one quarter of an hour I
saw and knew more

Insp 8.288 4 Perhaps you can recall a delight like [the
swell of an Aeolian
harp], which spoke to the eye, when you have stood by a lake in the
woods
in summer, and saw where little flaws of wind whip spots or patches of
still
water into fleets of ripples...
Imtl 8.326 26 ...the true disciples saw, through the
letter, the doctrine of
eternity...
Imtl 8.329 20 I think all sound minds rest on a certain
preliminary
conviction, namely, that if it be best that conscious personal life
shall
continue, it will continue; if not best, then it will not; and we, if
we saw the
whole, should of course see that it was better so.
Imtl 8.332 2 ...it chanced that [my friend] never met

until, twenty-five years afterwards, they saw each other through open
doors
at a distance in a crowded reception at the President's house in
Washington.
PerF 10.75 25 The thoughts, no man ever saw, but
disorder becomes order
where he goes;...
Edc1 10.130 24 If Newton come and...perceive...that

draws to every other atom...he reports the condition of millions of
worlds
which his eye never saw.

Schr 10.259 8 For thought, and not praise,/ Thought is
the wages/ For

dumb, blind and cold,/ Melting matter into dreams,/ Panoramas which I
saw,/ And whatever glows or seems/ Into substance, into Law./
LLNE 10.336 22 ...we presently saw also that the
religious nature in man
was not affected by these errors in his understanding.
LLNE 10.366 8 It was very gently said [at Brook Farm]
that people on
whom beforehand all persons would put the utmost reliance were not
responsible. They saw the necessity that the work must be done, and did
it
not...
LLNE 10.366 22 There was a stove in every chamber [at
Brook Farm], and
every one might burn as much wood as he or she would saw.
LLNE 10.369 10 The yeoman [at Brook Farm] saw refined
manners in
persons who were his friends;...
LLNE 10.369 12 ...the lady or the romantic scholar [at
Brook Farm] saw
the continuous strength and faculty in people who would have disgusted
them but that these powers were now spent in the direction of their own
theory of life.
SlHr 10.437 13 The Homeric heroes, when they saw the
gods mingling in
the fray, sheathed their swords.
SlHr 10.437 17 ...when [Samuel Hoar] saw the day and
the gods went
against him, he withdrew...
SlHr 10.444 2 [Samuel Hoar's] beauty was pathetic and
touching in these
latest days, and, as now appears, it awakened a certain tender fear in
all
who saw him, that the costly ornament of our homes and halls and
streets
was speedily to be removed.
SlHr 10.445 3 [Samuel Hoar] saw what was essential, and
refused
whatever was not...
Thor 10.457 15 ...a young girl...sharply asked
[Thoreau], Whether his
lecture...was one of those old philosophical things that she did not
care
about. Henry turned to her...and, I saw, was trying to believe that he
had
matter that might fit her and her brother...
Thor 10.464 4 At Mount Washington...Thoreau had a bad
fall, and sprained
his foot. As he was in the act of getting up from his fall, he saw for
the first
time the leaves of the Arnica mollis.
Thor 10.465 5 [Thoreau]...saw the limitations and
poverty of those he
talked with...
Thor 10.470 22 Presently [Thoreau] heard a note which
he called that of
the night-warbler, a bird...which always, when he saw it, was in the
act of
diving down into a tree or bush...
Thor 10.471 15 [Thoreau] saw as with microscope...
Thor 10.471 17 ...[Thoreau's] memory was a photographic
register of all
he saw and heard.
Thor 10.480 9 ...the blockheads were not born in
Concord; but who said
they were? It was their unspeakable misfortune to be born in London, or
Paris, or Rome; but...they did what they could, considering that they
never
saw Bateman's Pond...
Carl 10.492 27 [Carlyle] saw once, as he told me, three
or four miles of
human beings, and fancied that the airth was some great cheese, and
these

GSt 10.505 5 ...virtuous enough to obey to the

natural manner, an indispensable
power in the state.
HDC 11.74 15 ...the British fired one or two shots up
the river (our ancient
friend here, Master Blood, saw the water struck by the first ball);...
HDC 11.77 19 [William Emerson], at least, saw clearly
the pregnant
consequences of the 19th April [1775].
EWI 11.104 2 ...if we saw the whip applied to old

EWI 11.104 11 ...if we saw the runaways hunted with
bloodhounds into
swamps and hills;...we too should wince.
EWI 11.104 14 ...if we saw the runaways hunted with
bloodhounds into
swamps and hills; and, in cases of passion, a planter throwing his
negro into

too
should wince.
EWI 11.104 21 ...a good man or woman...once in a while
saw these injuries [to West Indian slaves] and had the indiscretion to
tell of them.
EWI 11.126 13 It was very easy for manufacturers...to
see that...if the
slaves [in the West Indies] had wages, the slaves would be
clothed...and
negro women love fine clothes as well as white women. In every naked
negro of those thousands, they saw a future customer.
EWI 11.126 14 ...[British merchants] saw further that
the slave-trade, by
keeping in barbarism the whole coast of eastern Africa, deprives them
of
countries and nations of customers...
EWI 11.141 6 Mr. Clarkson, early in his career, made a
collection of
African productions and manufactures, as specimens of the arts and
culture
of the negro; comprising cloths and loom...pipe-bowls and trinkets.
These
he showed to Mr. Pitt, who saw and handled them with extreme interest.
FSLC 11.202 25 [Webster] saw things as they were...
FSLN 11.219 3 I have lived all my life without
suffering any known

FSLN 11.220 9 I saw plainly that the great show their
legitimate power in

FSLN 11.220 11 I saw that a great man [Webster]...was
able...when he
failed...to carry parties with him.
FSLN 11.222 5 ...[Webster] saw through his matter...
FSLN 11.222 13 In [Webster's] statement things lay in
daylight; we saw
them in order as they were.
FSLN 11.223 8 ...what [Webster] saw so well he
compelled other people to
see also.
FSLN 11.230 22 [Reasonably men] answered...that they
saw plainly that all

JBB 11.270 25 [John Brown] saw how deceptive the forms

he looked upon as his superior. This boy was a slave; he saw him beaten
with an iron shovel...

behind...
ALin 11.329 16 In this country, on Saturday, every one
was struck dumb, and saw at first only deep below deep, as he meditated
on the ghastly blow [Lincoln's death].
HCom 11.340 22 Where faith made whole with deed/

SMC 11.359 10 The army officers were welcome to their
jest on [George
Prescott]...as the colonel who got off his horse when he saw one of his
men
limp on the march, and told him to ride.
SMC 11.362 22 [George Prescott writes] This lieutenant
seems to think that
these men, who never saw a gun, can drill as well as he, who has been
at
West Point four years.
SMC 11.366 8 Captain Humphrey H. Buttrick...saw hard
service in the
Ninth Corps, under General Burnside.

PLT 12.39 8 A man of talent has only to name any form

enhances it

he had in Ohio
three thousand sheep on his farm, and could tell a strange sheep in his

seventy years old put
their heel on their own neck, without any exertion.

CW 12.174 17 In the arboretum you should have

Bost 12.206 4 When men saw that these people [of

live here.
MAng1 12.234 15 [Michelangelo] saw clearly that if the
corrupt and vulgar
eyes that could see nothing but indecorum in his terrific prophets and
angels could be purified as his own were pure, they would only find
occasion for devotion in the same figures.
Milt1 12.256 2 ...the idea of a purer existence than

Milton.
MLit 12.315 21 ...the weak and wicked, led also to

MLit 12.320 21 The Excursion awakened in every lover of
Nature the right
feeling. We saw stars shine...

Cathedral] to all I
have seen, except Westminster and York. Here was Canute buried, and
here
Alfred the Great was crowned and buried, and here the Saxon kings;...

HDC 11.50 2 The British government has recently
presented to the several

presented...to the English nation...as a certificate of the progress of

Saxon race;...
