Image
Science sees signs Poetry, the thing signified. Co-author with his brother Julius Hare.

Christianity has carried civilization along with it, whithersoever it has gone and, as if to show that the latter does not depend on physical causes, some of the countries the most civilized in the day's of Augustus are now in a state of hopeless barbarism.

Augustus William Hare
Image
Most painters have painted themselves. So have most poets: not so palpably indeed, but more assiduously. Some have done nothing else.

Image
Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.
Augustus William Hare
Image
Some persons take reproof good-humoredly enough, unless you are so unlucky as to hit a sore place. Then they wince and writhe, and start up and knock you down for your impertinence, or wish you good morning.
Augustus William Hare
Image
Many actions, like the Rhone, have two sources,--one pure, the other impure.
Augustus William Hare
Image
They who boast of their tolerance merely give others leave to be as careless about religion as they are themselves. A walrus might as well pride itself on its endurance of cold.
Augustus William Hare
Image
The effects of human wickedness are written on the page of history in characters of blood: but the impression soon fades away so more blood must be shed to renew it.

Image
I suspect we have internal senses. The mind's eye since Shakespeare's time has been proverbial and we have also a mind's ear.
