An anonymous modern writer has beautifully said, " There are moments in existence which comprise the power of years ; as thousands of roses are contained in a few drops of their essence.
Sivu 14 - ... to which those laws degrade them, render the lives of some few in the higher, and of thousands in the lower ranks of life, one perpetual sati, or burning of the heart, from which they have no refuge but the grave, or the cap of liberty, — ie the widow's, and either is a sad consolation.
Sivu 85 - ... to humanity, and who is surely rewarded in a better world for the indignities and misery she suffered in this. She had two daughters of exquisite beauty. Eliane, the eldest, was my betrothed wife : the other was some years younger. The day was fixed that was to unite us, but that sun of joy was...
Sivu 80 - ... level with some particular instance of frailty, and to make it an excuse for such by proving it to be the portion of all; or to confuse and mislead the thoughtless, so that they forget the real boundaries which divide vice from virtue. ' But on the Conte Miguez there was a seal of pre-eminence set, and it was not in the power of the world to efface the heavenly impression.
