Art2 7.39 16 Art, universally, is the spirit creative.
Art2 7.45 11 A very coarse imitation of the human form
on canvas, or in
wax-work;...these things give...to the uncultured...almost as much
pleasure

Canova or

rears a
higher delight...

suns to the

York, but to his own sense and spirit.
FSLN 11.239 17 The national spirit in this country is

FSLN 11.243 18 Having...professed his adoration for

Bost 12.194 16 This [Christian] spirit, of course,
involved that of Stoicism, as, in its turn, Stoicism did this.
Bost 12.195 2 How needful is David, Paul, Leighton,
Fenelon, to our
devotion. Of these writers, of this spirit which deified them, I will
say with
Confucius, If in the morning I hear of the right way, and in the
evening die, I can be happy.
Bost 12.197 4 ...the necessity, which always presses

MAng1 12.221 3 In this spirit [of learning]
[Michelangelo] devoted himself
to the study of anatomy for twelve years;...
MAng1 12.233 12 ...let no man suppose that the images
which [Michelangelo's] spirit worshipped were mere transcripts of
external grace...
MAng1 12.235 22 [Michelangelo] required...that he
should be absolute
master of the whole design [of St. Peter's], free to depart from the
plans of
San Gallo and to alter what had been already done. This
disinterestedness
and spirit...reminds one of the reward named by the ancient Persian.
MAng1 12.236 15 The combined desire to fulfil, in
everlasting stone, the
conceptions of his mind, and to complete his worthy offering to
Almighty
God, sustained [Michelangelo] through numberless vexations with
unbroken spirit.
MAng1 12.236 27 A natural fruit of the nobility of

is his admiration for Dante...
MAng1 12.241 17 ...[Michelangelo] knew that his spirit

contentment after death.
Milt1 12.251 3 ...the peroration [of Milton's Defence

Milt1 12.253 8 The opposition to [a masterpiece of

Milt1 12.264 7 His mind gave him, [Milton] said, that
every free and gentle
spirit, without that oath of chastity, ought to be born a knight;...
Milt1 12.264 20 In like spirit, [Milton] replies to the
suspicious calumny
respecting his morning haunts. Those morning haunts are where they
should be, at home;...
Milt1 12.265 11 [Milton's native honor] is the spirit
of Comus...
Milt1 12.269 13 The part [Milton] took, the zeal of his
fellowship, make us
acquainted with the greatness of his spirit as in tranquil times we

have known it.
Milt1 12.273 11 ...[Milton] frequented no church;

at the fierce spirit of the pulpits.
Milt1 12.278 11 [Milton's plea for freedom of divorce]

MLit 12.318 9 [The educated and susceptible] betray
this impatience [with
the poverty of our dogmas of religion and philosophy] by fleeing for
resource to a conversation with Nature, which is courted in a certain
moody

MLit 12.321 27 With the name of Wordsworth rises to our
recollection the
name of his contemporary and friend, Walter Savage Landor,-a man
working in a very different and peculiar spirit...
MLit 12.323 21 ...[Goethe] is an apology for the
analytic spirit of the

MLit 12.328 23 The spirit of [Goethe's] biography, of
his poems, of his
tales, is identical...
MLit 12.335 13 ...the august spirit of the world looks
out from [man's] eyes.
MLit 12.335 19 [The Genius of the time] will write in a
higher spirit and a

the
pen of poet.
WSL 12.342 22 Let us not be so illiberal with our

spirit.
WSL 12.346 8 [Landor] exercises with a grandeur of

WSL 12.348 21 [Landor's] merit must rest, at last, not

EurB 12.368 18 [Wordsworth]...wrote Helvellyn and
Windermere and the
dim spirits which these haunts harbored. There was not the least
attempt to
reconcile these with the spirit of fashion and selfishness...
EurB 12.369 1 ...with a complete satisfaction
[Wordsworth]...celebrated his
own [life] with the religion of a true priest. Hence the antagonism
which
was immediately felt between his poetry and the spirit of the age...
EurB 12.369 3 ...the spirit of literature and the modes
of living and the
conventional theories of the conduct of life were called in question
[by
Wordsworth] on wholly new grounds...
EurB 12.370 24 ...[modern painters] will not paint for
their times, agitated
by the spirit which agitates their country;...
EurB 12.372 24 Ulysses [Tennyson] belongs to a high
class of poetry, destined...to be more cultivated in the next
generation. Oenone was a sketch
of the same kind. One of the best specimens we have of the class is
Wordsworth's Laodamia, of which no special merit it can possess equals
the total merit of having selected such a subject in such a spirit.
