Pàgina 136 - I was prostrate in the dust, without strength to rise, or a friend powerful enough to raise me, I still clung to my pride, or, rather, my pride clung to me, like the venomed robe of Hercules, not to be torn away but at the expense of life itself. However haughtily I may have carried myself in later trials or conflicts, the warmth and sunshine of this evening, within these walls, compel me irresistibly, because willingly, to cast off every incumbrance, to lay my pride at your feet, and stand before...

Pàgina 277 - In one of her letters of this autumn, Mrs. Hemans makes mention of an interesting visit she had received from the Poet Montgomery (not the new aspirant to that name, but the " real Peter Bell"), who had just come from Snowdon, full of animation and enthusiasm.
