Σελίδα 31 - Dans toutes les classes, en France, on sent le besoin de causer ; la parole n'y est pas seulement, comme ailleurs, un moyen de se communiquer ses idées, ses sentiments et ses affaires ; mais c'est un instrument dont on aime à jouer et qui ranime les esprits, comme la musique chez quelques peuples, et les liqueurs fortes chez quelques autres.

Σελίδα 32 - The pure streams, the placid lakes, the green hills, and the " fixed mountains looking tranquillity," seemed to reproach him with his desertion of nature's fairer work ; for all the works of nature are linked together by an invisible, " electric chain." Redwood hurried from place to place ; he tried the power of novelty, of activity ; he gazed on those objects that have been the marvel and the delight of the world ; and -when the first excitement was over, he felt that he could not resist the great...
Σελίδα 32 - ... excitement, not an hour for reflection, scarcely a solitary moment for the impertinent whispering of conscience. His wife, the young and innocent creature who had surrendered to him the whole treasure of her affections, abandoned, solitary, sick, and heart broken, was scarce remembered, or if remembered, was always associated with the dark cloud with which she had shaded his future fortunes. But after he had left Paris, in the further prosecution of his travels, there were times in which she...

Σελίδα xiii - No; it is not given to the human mind to behold these truths in the full day of perfect evidence: but why should the man of sensibility repine at not being able to demonstrate what he feels to be true? In the silence of the closet, and the dryness of discussion, I can agree with the atheist or the materialist, as to the insolubility of certain questions. But when in the country...
Σελίδα 50 - ... affections, of disciplined serenity, and a soft melancholy, that seemed like the shadow of past sufferings, which altogether constituted the power and interest of her remarkable face. The younger female was short and slightly formed. Her features were small ; her blue eyes, light hair, and fair complexion, would have rendered her face insipid, but that it was rescued by an expression of purity and innocence, and a certain appealing tender look, that suited well her quiet and amiable character.
Σελίδα 109 - Ellen to pass half her time at the mansion-house. In this arrangement there was a system of checks and balances that produced that singular and felicitous union of diversity of qualities which constituted the rare perfection of Ellen's character. Mrs. Harrison communicated her taste and skill in drawing, her knowledge of french and Italian, and all those arts of female handicraft that were the fashion of her day.
Σελίδα xiii - ... but why should the man of sensibility repine at not being able to demonstrate what he feels to be true? In the silence of the closet, and the dryness of discussion, I can agree with the atheist or the materialist, as to the insolubility of certain questions. But when in the country, and contemplating nature, my soul, full of emotion, soars aloft to the vivifying principle that animates them, to the almighty intellect that pervades them, and the goodness that makes the scene so delightful to my...
