Till he relent, and can no more endure To be a jarring and a dissonant thing Amid this general dance and minstrelsy; But, bursting into tears, wins back his way, His angry spirit healed and harmonized By the benignant touch of love and beauty.
الصفحة 169 - I hastened back into the room. If I had looked a moment longer, I should have dropped. When I came to reflect, what a change ! I looked down at my dress.

الصفحة 17 - ... induce me to go through this demoralising drudgery, which I am conscious reduces me to the level of all that is most disreputable and despicable, for my thoughts are eternally absorbed by it.
