- summary: The wildness of the savage is but a faint symbol of the awful ferity with which good men and lovers meet. The wildest dreams of wild men, even, are not the less true, though they may not recommend themselves to the sense which is most common among Englishmen and Americans to-day.

- summary: No speech, though kind, has it; But kinder silence doles Unto its mates; By night consoles, By day congratulates. In vain I see the morning rise, In vain observe the western blaze, Who idly look to other skies, Expecting life by other ways.

- summary: The divinity in man is the true vestal fire of the temple, which is never permitted to go out, but burns as steadily, and with as pure a flame, on the obscure provincial altars as in Numa�s temple at Rome. It was a conceit of Plutarch, accounting for the preference given to signs observed on the left hand, that men may have thought �things terrestrial and mortal directly over against heavenly and divine things, and do conjecture that the things which to us are on the left hand, the gods send down from their right hand.� If we are not blind, we shall see how a right hand is stretched over all,�as well the unlucky as the lucky,�

- summary: But as these powers are very irregular and subject to interruptions; the next object is to show how they may be converted into powers that operate continually and uniformly for ever, until the machinery be worn out, or, in other words, into perpetual motions� . . .

- summary: Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe��That government is best which governs not at all;� and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.
