81 페이지 - tis slander; Whose edge is sharper than the sword ; whose tongue Outvenoms all the worms of Nile; whose breath Rides on the posting winds, and doth belie All corners of the world : kings, queens, and states, Maids, matrons, nay, the secrets of the grave This viperous slander enters.
26 페이지 - Yon cottager, who weaves at her own door, Pillow and bobbins all her little store: Content though mean, and cheerful if not gay, Shuffling her threads about the livelong day, Just earns a scanty pittance, and at night Lies down secure, her heart and pocket light; She for her humble sphere by nature fit, Has little understanding and no wit, Receives no praise; but though her lot be such, (Toilsome and indigent) she renders much; Just knows, and knows no more, her Bible true — A truth the brilliant...
160 페이지 - It is surely absurd in you," said Fanny to her, one day, " to give up this ball on purpose to make yourself singular. It will have a very odd appearance in the eyes of the world.

Placed with her back towards the door, she perceived not the intrusion, and while I paused to listen and to gaze, I might have determined that here at least was a spot where happiness could not dwell ; one being, at least, to whom enjoyment upon earth must be forbidden by external circumstance — with whom to live was of necessity to be wretched.
28 페이지 - ... with whom to live was of necessity to be wretched. Well might the listener, in such a scene as this, be startled by expressions of delight, strangely contrasted with the murmurs we are used to hear amid the world's abundance. But it was even so. From the pale, shrivelled lips of this poor woman, we heard a whispering expression of enjoyment, scarcely articulate, yet not so low but that we could distinguish the words " Delightful,
8 페이지 - I a&w the leaves gliding down a brook — Swift the brook ran, and bright the sun burn'd — The sere and the verdant, the same course they took; And sped gaily and fast — but they never return'd. And I thought how the years of a man pass away, Threescore and ten — and then where are they? H. NKELE.
8 페이지 - ... them. Nature itself wore the garb of sadness, and man's too dependent spirits were ready to assume it — those, at least, that were not so happy as to find means of forgetting it. Such was the case with my unfortunate self. I had descended to the breakfast-room, at the usual hour, but no one appeared; I looked for a book, but found none but an almanac.
