الصفحة 44 - What hand and brain went ever paired ? What heart alike conceived and dared ? What act proved all its thought had been ? What will but felt the fleshly screen ? We ride and I see her bosom heave.
الصفحة 71 - There are pulpits enough for all preachers in prose; the business of verse-writing is hardly to express convictions; and if some poetry, not without merit of its kind, has at times dealt in dogGeorge Meredith's "Modern Love" 78 matic morality, it is all the worse and all the weaker for that.

الصفحة 72 - I am not of those miserable males Who sniff at vice, and, daring not to snap, Do therefore hope for heaven. I take the hap Of all my deeds.
