Lie on the landscape green,
With shadows brown between. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Endymion ]

The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other in the mist. [ Tennyson ]

Behind the globe, and lights the lower world,
Then thieves and robbers range abroad unseen,
In murthers and in outrage boldly here. [ William Shakespeare ]

Nor to know things whose knowledge is forbid. [ Denham ]

Hid within an auger-hole, may rush, and seize us? [ William Shakespeare ]

Which trembles towards the inner founts of feeling;
Bringing to light and use, else hid from all.

Of good and beauty in our own deep bosoms;
And marks the variations of all mind
As does the needle. [ Bailey ]

And many a beautiful pearl
Lies hid in its depths below. [ Heine ]

A statue lies hid in a block of marble, and the art of the statuary only clears away the superfluous matter and removes the rubbish. The figure is in the stone; the sculptor only finds it. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul. The philosopher, the saint, or the hero, - the wise, the good, or the great man, - very often lies hid and concealed in a plebeian, which a proper education might have disinterred, and have brought to light. [ Joseph Addison ]

Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries, in a thousand years, have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover to their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age. [ Emerson ]
