Pagina 222 - This receptive faculty, for power it cannot be called, is neither voluntary nor constant. The appearances have no dependence upon choice ; they cannot be summoned, detained, or recalled. The impression is sudden, and the effect often painful.
Pagina 114 - Mourn, hapless Caledonia, mourn Thy banished peace, thy laurels torn!
