Seite 33 - You cannot be too careful to watch the first symptoms of incoherence. The first illogical snarl he makes, to St. Luke's with him. All the dogs here are going mad if you believe the overseers ; but, I protest, they seem to me very rational and collected. But nothing is so deceitful as mad people to those who are not used to them. Try him with hot water : if he won't lick it up, it is a sign — he does not like it.

Seite 19 - But who is he, with modest looks. And clad in homely russet brown ? He murmurs near the running brooks A music sweeter than their own. He is retired as noontide dew, Or fountain in a noonday grove; And you must love him, ere to you He will seem worthy of your love.
Seite 194 - Observe that green chariot just making the turn of the unbroken line of equipages.

Seite 74 - My poor dear, dearest sister, in a fit of insanity, has been the death of her own mother. I was at hand only time enough to snatch the knife out of her grasp. She is at present in a madhouse, from whence I fear she must be moved to an hospital.
Seite 298 - A POET'S EPITAPH Art thou a Statist in the van Of public conflicts trained and bred? — First learn to love one living man; Then may'st thou think upon the dead . A Lawyer art thou? — draw not nigh! Go, carry to some fitter place The keenness of that practised eye, The hardness of that sallow face. Art thou a Man of purple cheer? A rosy Man, right plump to see? Approach; yet, Doctor, not too near, This grave no cushion is for thee. Or art thou one...
Seite 194 - ... of humanity, it is on the lovely face within — lovely as ever, though it has been loveliest among the lovely for a longer time than we dare call to our own recollection, much less to that of the fair being before us. If the Countess of...
Seite 278 - I should have felt the varlets at my heart. I should have cried out to them to spare a plank at least out of the cheerful store-room...
Seite 15 - In point of intellectual character and expression, a finer face was never seen, nor one more fully, however vaguely, corresponding with the mind whose features it interpreted. There was the gravity usually engendered by a life passed in book-learning, without the slightest tinge of that assumption and affectation which almost always attend the gravity so engendered ; the intensity and elevation of general expression that mark high genius, without any of its pretension and its oddity : the sadness...
Seite 191 - The remainder of the furniture, namely, a richly-carved sofa, occupying one entire side of the room, an dcritoire, a bergere, a book-stand, a Psyche-glass, and two coffres for jewels, lace, &c., were all of similar fancy and workmanship, and all silvered, to match the bed. The carpet was of rich uncut pile, of a pale blue. The hangings of the dressing-room were of blue silk, covered with lace, and richly trimmed with frills of the same; so also were the toilette-table, the chaise-longue, the dressing-stools,...
