Sayfa 60 - The better days of life were ours; The worst can be but mine; The sun that cheers, the storm that lowers, Shall never more be thine.
Sayfa 35 - The young peer had great intellectual powers, yet there was an unsound part in his mind. He had naturally a generous and feeling heart, but his temper was wayward and irritable.
Sayfa 63 - Between the acting of a dreadful thing And the first motion, all the interim is Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream: The genius, and the mortal instruments, Are then in council; and the state of man, Like to a little kingdom, suffers then The nature of an insurrection.
