Seite 129 - To hide her bloodless heart's soul-hardened scheming ; A lip of lies ; a face formed to conceal, And, without feeling, mock at all who feel : With a vile mask the Gorgon would disown, — A cheek of parchment, and an eye of stone.
Seite 139 - And, oh, that pang where more than madness lies ! The worm that will not sleep — and never dies; Thought of the gloomy day and ghastly night, That dreads the darkness, and yet loathes the light, That winds around, and tears the quivering heart! Ah! wherefore not consume it — and depart!

Seite 148 - And what else efl'ects the denouement of the Two Old Men's first Tale ? One moment we see Lord Louis proudly and happily receiving the congratulations of his tenantry, on coming of age. " The next moment — a crash of thunder, loud, terrible, rattled through the sky, and one bright flash penetrated, for a second, the horrible gloom. One flash — and a cry, a universal cry, rent the air — Lord Louis ! Lord Louis ! — the thunderbolt had fallen — and struck him dead at his mother's feet."§...
Seite 154 - Ye gentle Pow'rs, (if any such there be, And, if there be not, 'tis a sweet mistake To think there be) that day by day, unseen, Where souls, unanimous and link'd in love, In sober converse spend the vacant hour, Hover above, and in the cup of life A cordial pour which all its bitter drowns, And gives the hasty minutes as they pass Unwonted fragrance ; come and aid my song.

Seite 7 - Mais relit au grand jour le passage qu'elle aime, Comme en face du ciel tu l'écrivis toi-même, Et s'endort aussi pure après t'avoir fermé, Mais de grâce et d'amour le cœur plus parfumé. Un Dieu descend toujours pour dénouer ton drame ; Toujours la Providence y veille, et nous proclame Cette justice occulte et ce divin ressort Qui fait jouer le temps et gouverne le sort; Dans les cent mille aspects de ta gloire infinie, C'est toujours la raison qui guide ton génie. Ce...
Seite 176 - I could only wish you were not so much in love '." Harry's brow at first darkened, but he answered in a saddened tone : " Perhaps it is folly, but then she is an angel, and to adore her without reason or limit, seems to me the most reasonable thing in the world \" " Something should subdue me but the ephemeral attractions of form and feature.
