Popularne fragmenty
Strona 137 - Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, Raze out the written troubles of the brain And with some sweet oblivious antidote Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff Which weighs upon the heart?
Strona 142 - Of one that loved not wisely but too well ; Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought Perplex'd in the extreme ; of one whose hand, Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away Richer than all his tribe ; of one whose subdued eyes, Albeit unused to the melting mood, Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees Their medicinal gum.
Strona 34 - twere the cape of a long ridge of such, Save that there was no sea to lave its base, But a most living landscape...
Strona 120 - ... of them was yet fully seventeen years old. They walked arm-enclasping each the other, or sat on banks to look at sunsets (cloud-scenery as he styled it), or gathered flowers to make her an Ophelia, or in the depths of his leafy theatre enacted scenes.

Have you ever known this feeling? — transplant it to the heart of a woman, young, beautiful, and all gentleness, and you will conceive the torture that wrenched the bosom of poor Lilias.
Strona 35 - My word, William, did it ever fail you? I swear to you as I shall answer to that Being whose eye alone saw the deed, that she is absolutely pure of it, whatever the evidence may appear to prove to you ! Will you, for my sake, use your utmost efforts to lead the jury to a verdict of acquittal ?"
Strona 112 - Moreover, the graceful little boy at the window of the small backparlour, standing before a large book, open upon a table, muttering, and anon almost reading aloud, whilst the slight movements of his person, and the quick glance of his eye, seemed to keep time (if we may use the expression) with the ideas in the text — that was her son, Frank Merrick, the hope and pride of her heart — and the volume was the second of an edition of Shakspeare, containing, among others, the plays of Hamlet, Othello,...
Strona 115 - I crept into it, with the view of making my way to the outside ; but close to the outer aperture a large stone had slipped from the upper part — the roof, you know, of the hole — and impeded my escape.
