עמוד 150 - And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them : for that is delivered unto me ; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
עמוד 128 - Oh, my childhood! I had feelings: passive as I lived, little as I spoke, cold as I looked, when I thought of past days, I could feel. About the present, it was better to be stoical; about the future — such a future as mine — to be dead. And in catalepsy and a dead trance, I studiously held the quick of my nature.
עמוד 309 - Pain, for her, has no result in good; tears water no harvest of wisdom: on sickness, on death itself, she looks with the eye of a rebel. Wicked, perhaps, she is, but also she is strong; and her strength has conquered Beauty, has overcome Grace, and bound both at her side, captives peerlessly fair, and docile as fair.
עמוד 367 - I do not think his audience were generally susceptible of sharing his flame in its purity ; but some of the college youth caught fire as he eloquently told them what should be their path and endeavour in their country's and in Europe's future. They gave him a long, loud, ringing cheer, as he concluded • with all his fierceness, he was their favourite professor. As our party left the hall, he stood at the entrance ; he saw and knew me, and lifted his hat ; he offered his hand in passing, and uttered...
עמוד 307 - I had heard this woman termed "plain," and I expected bony harshness and grimness - something large, angular, sallow. What I saw was the shadow of a royal Vashti: a queen, fair as the day once, turned pale now like twilight, and wasted like wax in flame. For...
עמוד xv - It is scarcely human nature that she shows you ; it is something wilder and worse; the feelings and fury of a fiend. The great gift of genius she undoubtedly has ; but, I fear, she rather abuses it than turns it to good account.
עמוד 76 - I want your opinion. We know your skill in physiognomy; use it now. Read that countenance." The little man fixed on me his spectacles: A resolute compression of the lips, and gathering of the brow, seemed to say that he meant to see through me, and that a veil would be no veil for him. "I read it,
עמוד 352 - Perhaps, to effect this change, another pitched battle must be fought with fortune; if so, I had a mind to the encounter: too poor to lose, God might destine me to gain. But what road was open? - what plan available? On this question I was still pausing, when the moon, so dim hitherto, seemed to shine out somewhat brighter: a ray gleamed even white before me, and a shadow became distinct and marked. I looked more narrowly, to make out the cause of this well-defined contrast appearing a little suddenly...
עמוד 556 - ... diffidently into life after long acquaintance, furnace-tried by pain, stamped by constancy, consolidated by affection's pure and durable alloy, submitted by intellect to intellect's own tests, and finally wrought up, by his own process, to his own unflawed completeness, this Love that laughed at Passion, his fast frenzies and his hot and hurried extinction, in this Love I had a vested interest ; and whatever tended either to its culture or its destruction, I could not view impassibly. I turned...
עמוד 330 - cried Paulina ; ' papa is talking Scotch ; and Scotch he is, partly. We are Home and de Bassompierre, Caledonian and Gallic.
