'In poems, equally as in philosophic disquisitions, genius produces the strongest impressions of novelty, while it rescues the most admitted truths from the impotence caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission.'

'Love's despair is but hope's pining ghost.'

'Resembles life what once was deem'd of light
Too ample in itself for human sght?
An absolute self? an element ungrounded?
All, that we see, all colors of all shade
By encroach of darkness made?
Is very life but by consciousness unbounded?
And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath
A war-embrace of wrestling life and death?'

O what a wonder seems the fear of death,
seeing how gladly we all sink to sleep.

"Frost at Midnight"
