Pagina xii - must be the style of those who ' write in the height of a present distress ; the mind tortured ' by the pangs of uncertainty (the events then hidden in ' the womb of fate) ; than the dry, narrative, unanimated ' style of a person relating difficulties and dangers sur' mounted, can be ; the relater perfectly at ease ; and if ' himself unmoved by his own story, not likely greatly to
Pagina 348 - Through life's perplexing road : The mists of error to control, And through its gloom direct my soul To happiness and good. XVI. Beneath her clear discerning eye The visionary shadows fly Of Folly's painted show. She sees through ev'ry fair disguise, That all but Virtue's solid joys Is vanity and woe.
Pagina 186 - Love various minds does variously inspire; It stirs in gentle bosoms gentle fire. Like that of incense on the altar laid : But raging flames tempestuous souls invade; A fire which every windy passion blows, With pride it mounts, or with revenge it glows.
Pagina 189 - The harmony of their tongues hath into bondage Brought my too diligent ear : for several virtues Have I liked several women ; never any With so full soul, but some defect in her Did quarrel with the noblest grace she owed, And put it to the foil : but you, O you, So perfect, and so peerless, are created Of every creature's best.

Then the rewarding end of all ! — To carry off such a girl as this, in spite of all her watchful and implacable friends; and in spite of a prudence and reserve that I never met with in any of the sex ; — what a triumph ! — what a triumph over the whole sex...

Pagina 256 - Why then, my dear, if you will have it, I think that with all his preponderating faults, I like him better than I ever thought I should like him ; and those faults considered, better perhaps than I ought to like him.
Pagina 170 - This touches me the more sensibly, because you yourself, my dear, are so ready to persuade me into it. I should be very blamable to endeavour to hide any the least bias upon my mind, from you: and I cannot but say - that this man - this Lovelace - is a man that might be liked well enough, if he bore such a character as Mr. Hickman bears; and even if there were hopes of reclaiming him. And further still I will acknowledge, that I believe it possible that one might be driven, by violent measures, step...
Pagina xi - As far as is consistent with human frailty, and as far as she could be perfect, considering the people she had to deal with, and those with whom she was inseparably connected, she is perfect.
Pagina 345 - With joy I hear the solemn sound, Which midnight echoes waft around, And sighing gales repeat. Fav'rite of Pallas! I attend, And, faithful to thy summons, bend At Wisdom's awful seat.
