第 26 頁 - AH ! who can tell how hard it is to climb The steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar ; Ah ! who can tell how many a soul sublime Has felt the influence of malignant star, And waged with Fortune an eternal war...
第 124 頁 - Have you ever entered a cottage, ever travelled in a coach, ever talked with a peasant in the field, or loitered with a mechanic at the loom, and not found that each of those men had a talent you had not, knew some things you knew not?

There has been no exaggeration as to their extent, no great departure from their details; the means employed, even that which seems most far-fetched, — the instrument of the poisoned ring, — have their foundation in literal facts. Nor have I much altered the...
第 122 頁 - What we call eternity may be but an endless series of those transitions .which men call deaths, abandonments of home after home, ever to fairer scenes and loftier heights. Age after age, the spirit, that glorious nomad, may shift its tent, fated not to rest in the dull Elysium of the heathen, but carrying with it evermore its elements, — activity and desire.
第 85 頁 - ... shrouded in herself, which gave her more intimate and vital union with all the influences of the universe; a companion to her loneliness, an angel hymning low to her own listening soul. This made her enjoyment of nature in its merest trifles exquisite and profound; this gave to her...
