Сторінка 134 - Tell zeal it wants devotion, Tell love it is but lust, Tell time it is but motion, Tell flesh it is but dust. And wish them not reply, For thou must give the lie.
Сторінка 83 - And your wings of the silver grey.' 7. The cock prov'd false, and untrue he was, For he crew an hour oer soon; The lassie thought it day when she sent her love away, And it was but a blink of the moon.
Сторінка 82 - Fantastic passions ! maddening brawl ! And shame and terror over all! Deeds to be hid which were not hid, Which, all confused, I could not know Whether I suffered, or I did: For all seemed guilt, remorse, or woe, — My own or others', still the same Life-stifling fear, soul-stifling shame.

The wakeful servants heard him shut his door behind him ; one of them having gone out anxiously, had traced him to his privacy, but none of them had ventured to think of disturbing it.

He lay insensible alike to all things, stretched out at all his length, with his eyes fixed in a stupid stedfastness upon one great massy branch that hung over him — his bloodless lips fastened together, as if they had been glued — his limbs like things entirely destitute of life and motion — every thing about him cold, stiff, and senseless. Minute after minute passed heavily away as in a dream...
Сторінка 279 - M'Ewan appeared, he was saluted with one universal shout of horror — a huzza of mingled joy and triumph, and execration and laughter : — cats, rats, every filth of the pillory, showered about the gibbet. I was close by his elbow at that terrific moment, and I laid my finger on his wrist. As I live, there was never a calmer pulse in this world — slow, full, strong ; — I feel the iron beat of it at this moment.
