Pàgina 54 - To Dr. Jonathan Swift, the most agreeable companion, the truest friend, and the greatest genius of his age.
Pàgina 15 - At this my heart sank within me: the whole foundation on which my life was constructed fell down. All my happiness was to have been found in the continual pursuit of this end. The end had ceased to charm, and how could there ever again be any interest in the means? I seemed to have nothing left to live for.
Pàgina 14 - In this frame of mind it occurred to me to put the question directly to myself: 'Suppose that all your objects in life were realized; that all the changes in institutions and opinions which you are looking forward to, could be completely effected at this very instant: would this be a great joy and happiness to you?
Pàgina 381 - I saw the world and yet I was not seen; My thread is cut and yet it is not spun, And now I live, and now my life is done. I sought my death and found it in my womb, I looked for life and saw it was a shade, I trod the earth and knew it was my tomb, And now I die, and now I was but made; My glass is full, and now my glass is run, And now I live, and now my life is done.

The oppression of the thought that all feeling was dead within me, was gone.
Pàgina 15 - I frequently asked myself, if I could, or if I was bound to go on living when life must be passed in this manner. I generally answered to myself that I did not think I could possibly bear it beyond a year.
Pàgina 108 - I faced old James and all his court the other day at St. Cloud. Vive Guillaume ! You never saw such a strange figure as the old bully is, [James II.] lean, worn, and rivelled, not unlike Neale, the projector. The queen looks very melancholy, but otherwise well enough : their equipages are all very ragged and contemptible.
Pàgina 224 - The right hon. gentleman may be sure that a quotation from such an authority will always tell. Some lines, for example, upon friendship, written by Mr. Canning, and quoted by the right hon. gentleman ! The theme, the poet, the speaker — what a felicitous combination!
Pàgina 196 - ... Amongst the duties which made her life, as Lord Melbourne remarked, rather an unnatural one for a young person, was that of reviewing her troops. By general consent she looked her best on these occasions, in her Windsor uniform habit and cap, and mounted upon a white horse. With her uniform she put on a new emotion.
