32155 | 17 is fixed for September( 16th?) |
32155 | _ Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn._ Written July 6(? |
34413 | Are we ever to meet again? |
34413 | Are you very busy? |
34413 | But I must not dwell on this subject.--Will you not endeavour to cherish all the affection you can for me? |
34413 | Do not tell me, that you are happier without us-- Will you not come to us in Switzerland? |
34413 | Do you think that the creature goes regularly to sleep? |
34413 | For, feeling that I am happier than I ever was, do you wonder at my sometimes dreading that fate has not done persecuting me? |
34413 | Have I any thing more to say to you? |
34413 | How are your affairs going on? |
34413 | How can you love to fly about continually-- dropping down, as it were, in a new world-- cold and strange!--every other day? |
34413 | How do you do?" |
34413 | I have the sincerest esteem and affection for you-- but the desire of regaining peace,( do you understand me?) |
34413 | I have too many debts, the rent is so enormous, and where to go, without money or friends, who can point out?" |
34413 | I hope this will be the last letter I shall write from England to you-- are you not tired of this lingering adieu? |
34413 | Now I am going towards the North in search of sunbeams!--Will any ever warm this desolated heart? |
34413 | The wind does not appear inclined to change, so I am still forced to linger-- When do you think that you shall be able to set out for France? |
34413 | These are attentions, more grateful to the heart than offers of service-- But why do I foolishly continue to look for them? |
34413 | This is my third letter; when am I to hear from you? |
34413 | This morning I am better; will you not be glad to hear it? |
34413 | Well, this you will say is trifling-- shall I talk about alum or soap? |
34413 | What are you about? |
34413 | What have I to do here? |
34413 | Will you not grant you have forgotten yourself? |
34413 | Will you not then be a good boy, and come back quickly to play with your girls? |
34413 | With these assurances, is it extraordinary that I should believe what I wished? |
34413 | Would it not now be possible to arrange your business in such a manner as to avoid the inquietudes, of which I have had my share since your departure? |
34413 | and will you endeavour to render that meeting happier than the last? |
34413 | but how can I expect that she will be shielded, when my naked bosom has had to brave continually the pitiless storm? |
34413 | can any thing? |
34413 | is our life then only to be made up of separations? |
34413 | or, to write very considerately, when will business permit you? |
34413 | when do you think of coming home? |
34413 | you will ask, what is the result of all this reasoning? |
41368 | But why should n''t I let her know it, if I_ am_ mortified? |
41368 | Am I a funny old man? |
41368 | And dost thou remember what is to happen within those ten days? |
41368 | And how art thou, belovedest? |
41368 | And how does our belovedest little Una? |
41368 | And how is that cough of thine, my belovedest? |
41368 | And if thou art sick, why did she come at all? |
41368 | And is not thy husband perfectly safe? |
41368 | And what adequate motive can there be for exposing thyself to all this misconception? |
41368 | And what delusion can be more lamentable and mischievous, than to mistake the physical and material for the spiritual? |
41368 | And will it be necessary to wait so long? |

41368 | Dearest, dost thou know that there are but ten days more in this blessed month of June? |
41368 | Dearest, is thy absence so nearly over that we can now see light glimmering at the end of it? |
41368 | Did Julian have a tooth?--or what was the matter? |
41368 | Did Una remember me, when she waked up?--and has little Bundlebreech wanted me?--and dost thou thyself think of me with moderate kindness? |

41368 | Now dost thou not blush to have formed so much lower an opinion of my business talents, than is entertained by other discerning people? |
41368 | Now that the days are so long, would it not do to leave Boston, on our return, at ½ past 4? |
41368 | Ownest, would there be anything amiss in exchanging that copy of Southey''s Poems for some other book? |
41368 | Shall I know little Una, dost thou think? |
41368 | Shall the whole sky be the dome of her cathedral?--or must she compress the Deity into a narrow space, for the purpose of getting at him more readily? |

41309 | 29th, 1839--6 or 7 P.M._ Blessedest wife_, Does our head ache this evening?--and has it ached all or any of the time to- day? |
41309 | All the time?--Or not at all? |
41309 | Am I not very bold to say this? |
41309 | Am I requiring you to work a miracle within yourself? |
41309 | Am I writing nonsense? |
41309 | And can she not do this? |
41309 | And hast thou been very good, my beloved? |
41309 | And how are your eyes, my blessedest? |
41309 | And how do you do this morning? |
41309 | And how many pages canst thou read, without falling asleep? |
41309 | And is his heart indeed heavy? |
41309 | And now have I anything to say to my little Dove? |
41309 | And now if my Dove were here, she and that naughty Sophie Hawthorne, how happy we all three-- two-- one--(how many are there of us?) |
41309 | And what wilt thou do to- day, persecuted little Dove, when thy abiding- place will be a Babel of talkers? |
41309 | And why was my dearest wounded by that silly sentence of mine about"indifference"? |
41309 | And will my Dove, or naughty Sophie Hawthorne, choose to take advantage of the law, and declare our marriage null and void? |
41309 | And will not you rebel? |
41309 | Are not these details very interesting? |
41309 | Are there any east- winds there? |
41309 | Are they not your own, as well as mine? |
41309 | Are we not married? |
41309 | Are we singular or plural, dearest? |
41309 | Are you conscious of my invitation? |

41309 | At length thou wilt pause, and say--"But what has_ thy_ life been?" |
41309 | Beloved, have not I been gone a great while? |
41309 | Belovedest, didst thou not bless this shower? |
41309 | Belovedest, how dost thou do this morning? |
41309 | Belovedest, how dost thou do? |
41309 | Belovedest, if thou findest it good to be there, why wilt thou not stay even a little longer than this week? |
41309 | Belovedest, is thy head quite well? |
41309 | But why didst thou look up in my face, as we walked, and ask why I was so grave? |
41309 | Can Sophie Hawthorne be prevailed upon to let me try it? |
41309 | Canst thou remotely imagine how glad I was? |
41309 | Dearest, art thou sure that thy delicatest brain has suffered no material harm? |
41309 | Dearest, have I brought the tears into your eyes? |
41309 | Dearest, how camest thou by the headache? |

41309 | Did we walk together in any such cold weather, last winter? |
41309 | Did you dream what an angelic guardianship was entrusted to you? |
41309 | Did you ever read such a foolish letter as this? |

41309 | Did you not know, beloved, that I dreamed of you, as it seemed to me, all night long, after that last blissful meeting? |
41309 | Did you yield to my conjurations, and sleep well last night? |
41309 | Didst thou expect me sooner? |
41309 | Do know yourself by that name, dearest, and think of yourself as Sophie Hawthorne? |
41309 | Do not you long to see me? |
41309 | Do not you yearn to see me? |
41309 | Do you not fear, my wife, to trust me to live in such a way any longer? |
41309 | Do you not feel, dearest, that we live above time and apart from time, even while we seem to be in the midst of time? |
41309 | Do you remember how we were employed, or what our state of feeling was, at this time last year? |
41309 | Do you think the perverse little damsel would have vanished beneath my kiss? |
41309 | Do you wish to know how your husband will spend the day? |
41309 | Does Sophie Hawthorne keep up my Dove''s spirits? |
41309 | Does it not appear at least seven years to my Dove, since we parted? |
41309 | Does it seem a great while since I left you, dearest? |
41309 | Does not"I,"whether spoken by Sophie Hawthorne''s lips or mine, express the one spirit of myself and that darlingest Sophie Hawthorne? |
41309 | Does she still refuse my Dove''s proffer to kiss her cheek? |
41309 | Does the joy compensate for the pain? |
41309 | Does thine aunt say that thou lookest in magnificent health?--and that thou art very beautiful? |

41309 | Dost thou not think she might be persuaded to withdraw herself, quietly, and take up her residence somewhere else? |
41309 | Dost thou not think that there is always some especial blessing granted us, when we are to be divided for any length of time? |
41309 | Dost thou not wonder at finding me scribbling between seven and eight o''clock in the morning? |

41309 | Dost thou still love me, in all thy wanderings? |
41309 | Dost thou sympathise from the bottom of thy heart? |
41309 | Dost thou think it would? |
41309 | Dost thou wear a day- cap, as well as a night cap? |
41309 | For would not that imply that thou wouldst always hereafter be close to his bosom? |
41309 | Has my Dove contributed anything? |
41309 | Has my Dove flown abroad, this cold, bright day? |
41309 | Has not each of us a right to use the first person singular, when speaking in behalf of our united being? |
41309 | Hast thou also been gladdened by an uncouth scribbling, which thy husband dispatched to thee on Monday? |
41309 | Have there not, to say nothing of shorter visits, been two eternities of more than a week each, which were full of blessings for us? |
41309 | Have you been able to flit abroad on today''s east wind, and go to Marblehead, as you designed? |
41309 | How could you disappoint me so? |
41309 | How did you contrive to write it? |
41309 | How do I know it? |
41309 | How does Sophie Hawthorne do? |
41309 | How have you borne it, my poor dear little Dove? |
41309 | How is it that thou hast had no spiritual intelligence of my advent? |
41309 | How is it with thine, mine ownest? |
41309 | How long since didst thou begin to use spectacles? |
41309 | How many times have you thought of me today? |
41309 | How should I, save by my own heart? |
41309 | How was it, dearest? |
41309 | How would my Dove like to have her husband continually with her, twelve or fourteen months out of the next twenty? |
41309 | I kiss you, dearest-- did you feel it? |
41309 | I know not what else to say;--but even that is saying something-- is it not, dearest? |
41309 | I wish there was something in the intellectual world analogous to the Daguerrotype( is that the name of it?) |
41309 | Is it so with you? |
41309 | Is not that queer to think of? |
41309 | Is that impossible, my sweetest Dove?--is it impossible, my naughtiest Sophie Hawthorne? |
41309 | Is the wind east? |
41309 | Is there not a volume in many of our glances?--even in a pressure of the hand? |
41309 | Is thy hair grown gray? |
41309 | Is thy hair turned gray? |
41309 | Is thy weariness quite gone? |
41309 | Knowest thou any such art? |
41309 | Little Dove, why did you shed tears the other day, when you supposed that your husband thought you to blame for regretting the irrevocable past? |
41309 | May I go to sleep, belovedest? |
41309 | Might it not be so? |
41309 | Mine own Dove, need I fear it now? |
41309 | Mine own wife, art thou very well? |
41309 | Mine unspeakably ownest, dost thou love me a million of times as much as thou didst a week ago? |
41309 | Mr. Gannet delivered a lecture at the Lyceum here, the other evening, in which he introduced an enormous eulogium on whom dost thou think? |
41309 | My beloved, why should we be silent to one another-- why should our lips be silent-- any longer on this subject? |
41309 | My dearest, how canst thou say that I have ever written anything beautiful, being thyself so potent to reproduce whatever is loveliest? |
41309 | My dearest, was not that a sweet time-- that Sabbath afternoon and eve? |
41309 | My dearest, why didst thou not write to me, yesterday? |
41309 | My sweetest, dearest, purest, holiest, noblest, faithfullest wife, dost thou know what a loving husband thou hast? |
41309 | Naughtiest, why do you say that you have scarcely seen your husband, this winter? |
41309 | Naughty Sophie Hawthorne-- silly Dove-- will you let that foolish question bring tears into your eyes? |
41309 | Now, dearest, dost thou comprehend what thou hast done for me? |
41309 | October 11th-- ½ past 4 P.M. Did my Dove fly in with me in my chamber when I entered just now? |
41309 | Of what sort, then? |
41309 | Of whom dost thou dream? |
41309 | Oh, dearest, have[ not] the moments of our oneness been those in which we were most silent? |
41309 | Oh, naughtiest, why are you not here to welcome your husband when he comes in at eventide, chilled with his wintry day''s toil? |
41309 | Or is it merely the defect in my own eyes, which can not behold the spiritual? |
41309 | Or would his wife-- most preposterous idea!--deem it a sin against decorum to pay a visit to her husband? |
41309 | Ownest wife, what dost thou think I received, just before I re- commenced this scribble? |
41309 | Ownest, dost thou not long very earnestly to see thy husband? |
41309 | Shall I tell thee? |
41309 | Shall Sophie Hawthorne be there too? |
41309 | Should we be the more ethereal, if we did not eat? |
41309 | TO MISS PEABODY_ Boston_, February 7th, 1840--½ past 3 P.M._ Ownest Dove_, Can you reckon the ages that have elapsed since our last embrace? |
41309 | The Spring is not acquainted with my Dove and me, as the Winter was;--how then can we expect her to be kindly to us? |
41309 | Then is it not our home? |
41309 | Then which of us has gained the most? |
41309 | There are two pictures there by our friend( thy friend-- and is it not the same thing?) |
41309 | To what use canst thou put so much love as thou continually receivest from me? |
41309 | Was it Sophie Hawthorne or the Dove that called it so? |
41309 | Was it Thursday that I told my Dove would be the day of my next appearance?--or Friday? |
41309 | Was not this a sin against etiquette? |
41309 | Was such a rhapsody as the foregoing ever written in the Custom House before? |
41309 | Well, dearest, were ever such words as these written in a Custom- House before? |
41309 | Were you not my wife in some past eternity? |
41309 | Wert thou abroad in the sky and air? |
41309 | What beautiful white doves those were, on the border of the vase; are they of mine own Dove''s kindred? |
41309 | What do you think, Dearest, of the expediency of my making a caucus speech? |
41309 | What is signified[ by] my nap of a whole year? |
41309 | What is to be done? |
41309 | What is to be done? |
41309 | What or who could it have been that I so missed? |
41309 | What possible good can it do for me to thrust my coal- begrimed visage and salt- befrosted locks into good society? |
41309 | What thinks my Dove of this? |
41309 | When a beam of heavenly sunshine incorporates itself with a dark cloud, is not the cloud benefitted more than the sunshine? |
41309 | Which do I love the best, I wonder-- my Dove, or my little Wild- Flower? |
41309 | Which wouldst thou prefer? |
41309 | Why didst thou not scold me? |
41309 | Why dost thou not frown at my nonsensical complaints, and utterly refuse thy sympathy? |
41309 | Why has my Dove made me waste so much of my letter in this talk about nothing? |
41309 | Why will not people let your poor persecuted husband alone? |
41309 | Will kisses have any efficacy? |
41309 | Will my Dove expect a letter from me so soon? |
41309 | Will not my Dove confess that there is a little_ nonsense_ in this epistle? |
41309 | Will not this be right, and for the best? |
41309 | Will not you be glad when I come home to spend three whole days, that I was kept away from you for a few brief hours on Christmas eve? |
41309 | Will she abide it? |
41309 | Will she forgive me? |
41309 | Will she pardon the neglect? |
41309 | Will that satisfy her, do you think? |
41309 | Will you have the kindness to see that these valuable consignments arrive at their destination? |
41309 | Wilt thou again forgive him? |
41309 | Wilt thou know thy husband''s face, when we meet again? |
41309 | Wilt thou never be satisfied with making me love thee? |
41309 | Wilt thou promise not to be troubled, should thy husband be unable to appreciate the excellence of Father Taylor? |
41309 | Would not Sophie Hawthorne fight against it?--would not the Dove fold her wings, not in the quietude of bliss, but of despair? |
41309 | Wouldst thou not have been ashamed of him? |
41309 | Wouldst thou take it upon thyself, if possible? |
41309 | You love me dearly-- don''t you? |
41309 | and go with me wherever I went? |
41309 | ½ past 7 A.M.--Belovedest, art thou not going to be very happy to- day? |
41309 | ½ past 7 P.M._ Ownest Dove_; Did you get home safe and sound, and with a quiet and happy heart? |
12544 | But, sister,says he,"would you have him love her?" |
12544 | Do you doubt it? |
12544 | King Charles, and who''ll do him right now? 12544 ''Tis strange that you tell me of my Lords Shandoys[ Chandos] and Arundel; but what becomes of young Compton''s estate? 12544 All this considered, what have I to say for myself when people shall ask, what''tis I expect? 12544 Am not I beholding to him, think you? 12544 And if it be, what is become of the £ 2500 lady? 12544 And let me ask you whether it be possible that Mr. Grey makes love, they say he does, to my Lady Jane Seymour? 12544 And, besides, there was a time when we ourselves were indifferent to one another;--did I do so then, or have I learned it since? 12544 Are a thousand women, or ten thousand worlds, worth it? 12544 Are mine so to you? 12544 Are you not in some fear what will become on me? 12544 But are you not afraid of giving me a strong vanity with telling me I write better than the most extraordinary person in the world? 12544 But by your own rules, then, may I not expect the same from you? 12544 But did not you tell me you should not stay above a day or two? 12544 But did you drink them immediately from the well? 12544 But did you not say in your last that you took something very ill from me? 12544 But do you think it was altogether without design she spoke it to you? 12544 But for God''s sake whither is it that you go? 12544 But had you reason to be displeased that I said a change in you would be much more pardonable than in him? 12544 But the truth is, I had been inquiring for some( as''tis a commodity scarce enough in this country), and he hearing it, told the baily[ bailiff?] 12544 But what should she do with beauty now? 12544 But while I remember it, let me ask you if you did not send my letter and_ Cléopâtre_ where I directed you for my lady? 12544 But, Lord, when shall I see you? 12544 But, bless me, what will become of us all now? 12544 By the way( this puts me in mind on''t), have you read the story of China written by a Portuguese, Fernando Mendez Pinto, I think his name is? 12544 Can I discern that it has made the trouble of your life, and cast a cloud upon mine, that will help to cover me in my grave? 12544 Can there be a romancer story than ours would make if the conclusion prove happy? 12544 Can there be anything vainer than such a hope upon such grounds? 12544 Can you believe that I do willingly defer my journey? 12544 Can you believe that you are dearer to me than the whole world beside, and yet neglect yourself? 12544 Can you doubt that anything can make your letters cheap? 12544 Can you imagine that he that demands £ 5000 besides the reversion of an estate will like bare £ 4000? 12544 Can you tell where that is? 12544 Can you think it necessary to me, or believe that your letters can be so long as to make them unpleasing to me? 12544 Chambers, as to remember me with kindness? 12544 Could George Eliot herself have done more for us in like space? 12544 Could you not stay till they are all gone to Roehampton? 12544 Did ever anybody forget themselves to that degree that was not melancholy in extremity? 12544 Did not you say once you knew where good French tweezers were to be had? 12544 Did you not intend to write to me when you writ to Jane? 12544 Did you send the last part of_ Cyrus_ to Mr. Hollingsworth? 12544 Do you know him? 12544 Do you know his son, my cousin Harry? 12544 Do you remember Arme and the little house there? 12544 Do you think, in earnest, I could be satisfied the world should think me a dissembler, full of avarice or ambition? 12544 Does not my cousin at Moor Park mistrust us a little? 12544 Does she not answer this question for us when she writes that he wasthe greatest nobleman in England"? |
12544 | Does she not need all her faith in her lover, in herself, ay, and in God, to uphold her in this new affliction? |
12544 | Farewell; can you endure that word? |
12544 | For to what purpose should I have strived against it? |
12544 | From what hid stock does thy strange nature spring? |
12544 | Has she been recently reading this passage? |
12544 | Have I done anything since that deserves he should alter his intentions towards us? |
12544 | Have I not reason then to desire this from you; and may not my friendship have deserved it? |
12544 | Have not you forgot my Lady''s book? |
12544 | Have we not here some local squires hit off to the life? |
12544 | Have you deserved to be otherwise; that is, am I no more in yours? |
12544 | Have you read_ Cléopâtre_? |
12544 | He does not preach so always, sure? |
12544 | He is so famed that I expected rare things of him, and seriously I listened to him as if he had been St. Paul; and what do you think he told us? |
12544 | How could you hear me talk so senselessly, though''twere but in your sleep, and not be ready to beat me? |
12544 | How do you after your journey; are you not weary; do you not repent that you took it to so little purpose? |
12544 | How do you like that? |
12544 | I am sorry my new carrier makes you rise so early,''tis not good for your cold; how might we do that you might lie a- bed and yet I have your letter? |
12544 | I do not doubt but I shall be better able to resist his importunity than his tutor was; but what do you think it is that gives him his encouragement? |
12544 | I have made a general confession to you; will you give me absolution? |
12544 | I have missed a letter this Monday: What is the reason? |
12544 | If her niece has so much wit, will you not be persuaded to like her; or say she has not quite so much, may not her fortune make it up? |
12544 | If it were expected that one should give a reason for their passions, what could he say for himself? |
12544 | If you are come back from Epsom, I may ask you how you like drinking water? |
12544 | If you stay there you will write back by him, will you not, a long letter? |
12544 | Is it in earnest that you say your being there keeps me from the town? |
12544 | Is it not my good Lord of Monmouth, or some such honourable personage, that presents her to the English ladies? |
12544 | Is it possible that all I have said can not oblige you to a care of yourself? |
12544 | Is it possible that he saw me? |
12544 | Is it possible that she can be indifferent to anybody? |
12544 | Is it possible you came so near me as Bedford and would not see me? |
12544 | Is it true that Algernon Sydney was so unwilling to leave the House, that the General was fain to take the pains to turn him out himself? |
12544 | Is it true that my Lord Whitlocke goes Ambassador where my Lord Lisle should have gone? |
12544 | Is it true? |
12544 | Is it true? |
12544 | Is not this a great deal of news for me that never stir abroad? |
12544 | Is not this a strange turn? |
12544 | Is not this very comfortable? |
12544 | Is there any such thing towards? |
12544 | Is there anything thought so indiscreet, or that makes one more contemptible? |
12544 | Is this not very like preaching? |
12544 | Is your father returned yet, and do you think of coming over immediately? |
12544 | King Charles, and who''s ripe for fight now? |
12544 | Leave them behind you? |
12544 | May not I ask it? |
12544 | My dearest, will you pardon me that I am forced to leave you so soon? |
12544 | No, I long to be rid of you, am afraid you will not go soon enough: do not you believe this? |
12544 | No, you are mistaken certainly; what should she do amongst all that company, unless she be towards a wedding? |
12544 | Now what think you, shall I ever hear of him more? |
12544 | Now, in very good earnest, do you think''tis time for me to come or no? |
12544 | One can picture Dorothy reading and musing over lines like these with sympathy and admiration: What art thou, love, thou great mysterious thing? |
12544 | Or has any accident lessened his power? |
12544 | Or shall I send him to you to know? |
12544 | Pray what is meant by_ wellness_ and_ unwellness_; and why is_ to some extreme_ better than_ to some extremity_? |
12544 | Pray, tell me how you like her, and what fault you find in my Lady Carlisle''s letter? |
12544 | Pray, where is your lodging? |
12544 | SIR,--They say you gave order for this waste- paper; how do you think I could ever fill it, or with what? |
12544 | SIR,--Who would be kind to one that reproaches one so cruelly? |
12544 | SIR,--Why are you so sullen, and why am I the cause? |
12544 | See how kind I grow at parting; who would not go into Ireland to have such another? |
12544 | Shall I speak a good word for you? |
12544 | Shall we go thither? |
12544 | Sure this will at least defer your journey? |
12544 | Sure you took somebody else for my cousin Peters? |
12544 | Tell me what I must think on''t; whether it be better or worse, or whether you are at all concern''d in''t? |
12544 | Tell me, my dearest, am I? |
12544 | That vile wench lets you see all my scribbles, I believe; how do you know I took care your hair should not be spoiled? |
12544 | The shepherd that bragged to the traveller, who asked him,"What weather it was like to be?" |
12544 | Therefore, if I forgive you this, you may justly forgive me t''other; and upon these terms we are friends again, are we not? |
12544 | Think on''t, and let me know what you resolve? |
12544 | This was written when I expected a letter from you, how came I to miss it? |
12544 | To the joy or sorrow of the neighbourhood,--who knows now? |
12544 | Was Dorothy in London to purchase her_ trousseau_? |
12544 | Was this the spark that loneliness and absence fanned into flame? |
12544 | Well, who can help these things? |
12544 | Were you at Althorp when you saw my Lady Sunderland and Mr. Smith, or are they in town? |
12544 | What a dismal story this is you sent me; but who could expect better from a love begun upon such grounds? |
12544 | What can excuse me if I should entertain any person that is known to pretend to me, when I can have no hope of ever marrying him? |
12544 | What do you mean to be so melancholy? |
12544 | What do you mean to do with all my letters? |
12544 | What does my Lord Lisle? |
12544 | What has it brought my poor Lady Anne Blunt to? |
12544 | What is it that has kept you longer? |
12544 | What is it your father ails, and how long has he been ill? |
12544 | What say you? |
12544 | What shall I tell him? |
12544 | What think you, have I not done fair for once, would you wish a longer letter? |
12544 | What think you, might not I preach with Mr. Marshall for a wager? |
12544 | What think you, were it not a good way of preferment as the times are? |
12544 | What would I give I could avoid it when people speak of you? |
12544 | What would you give that I had but the wit to know when to make an end of my letters? |
12544 | What( besides your consideration) could oblige me to live and lose all the rest of my friends thus one after another? |
12544 | When do you think of coming back again? |
12544 | Where did she and Jane spend their days, if that was the case, when Regent Street was green fields? |
12544 | Where were my eyes that I did not see him, for I believe I should have guessed at least that''twas he if I had? |
12544 | Who knows what a year may produce? |
12544 | Who told you I go to bed late? |
12544 | Who was that, Mr. Dr. told you I should marry? |
12544 | Why did you get such a cold? |
12544 | Why did you not send me that news and a garland? |
12544 | Why do I enter into this wrangling discourse? |
12544 | Why do you dissemble so abominably; you can not think these things? |
12544 | Why do you say I failed you? |
12544 | Why should not you be as just to me? |
12544 | Why should you be less kind? |
12544 | Why should you give yourself over so unreasonably to it? |
12544 | Why should you make an impossibility where there is none? |
12544 | Why should you think me so careless of anything that you were concerned in, as to doubt that I had writ? |
12544 | Why would not your own resolution work as much upon you as necessity and time does infallibly upon people? |
12544 | Why, then, did the accomplished Lady Anne Clifford unite herself to so worthless a person? |
12544 | Why, then, should my absence now be less supportable to you than heretofore? |
12544 | Will it be ever thus? |
12544 | Will it not stay your father''s journey too? |
12544 | Will my cousin F. come, think you? |
12544 | Will the kindness of this letter excuse the shortness on''t? |
12544 | Will you be so good- natured? |
12544 | Will you pardon this strange scribbled letter, and the disorderliness on''t? |
12544 | Would he look on me, think you, that had pretty Mrs. Fretcheville? |
12544 | Would you be very glad to see me there, and could you do it in less disorder, and with less surprise, than you did at Chicksands? |
12544 | Would you believe that I had the grace to go hear a sermon upon a week day? |
12544 | Would you think it, that I have an ambassador from the Emperor Justinian, that comes to renew the treaty? |
12544 | Would you think that upon examination it is found that you are not an indifferent person to me? |
12544 | Yet I could beat you for writing this last strange letter; was there ever anything said like? |
12544 | You are a very pretty gentleman and a modest; were there ever such stories as these you tell? |
12544 | You have no such ladies in Ireland? |
12544 | You hear the noise my Lady Anne Blunt has made with her marrying? |
12544 | You little think I have been with Lilly, and, in earnest, I was, the day before I came out of town; and what do you think I went for? |
12544 | You would see me, you say? |
12544 | _ Letter 37._ SIR,--You say I abuse you; and Jane says you abuse me when you say you are not melancholy: which is to be believed? |
12544 | _ Letter 48._ SIR,--''Tis but an hour since you went, and I am writing to you already; is not this kind? |
12544 | how can you talk of defying fortune; nobody lives without it, and therefore why should you imagine you could? |
12544 | how do those that live with them always? |
12544 | how you are altered; and what is it that has done it? |
12544 | now I am speaking of religion, let me ask you is not his name Bagshawe that you say rails on love and women? |
12544 | poor Dorothy, who will now forbear to pity you? |
12544 | shall we ever be so happy, think you? |
12544 | whilst I think on''t, let me ask you one question seriously, and pray resolve me truly;--do I look so stately as people apprehend? |
12544 | who knows not what mischances and how great changes have often happened in a little time? |
12544 | who shall now say what are the inmost thoughts of our Dorothy? |
12544 | who would have been other? |
2049 | Ca n''t you be friends with me as of old? |
2049 | Do they then require concealing? |
2049 | Do you allow anyone else to do so? |
2049 | H. Could you not come and live with me as a friend? 2049 Had she any tie?" |
2049 | How could she accuse me of a want of regard to her? 2049 If there was any one else who had been so fortunate as to gain her favourable opinion?" |
2049 | She defied anyone to read her thoughts? |
2049 | Was the man waiting? |
2049 | What is this world? 2049 What was it then? |
2049 | Where does your grandmother live now? |
2049 | Where is she gone? |
2049 | Why can you not go on as we have done, and say nothing about the word, FOREVER? |
2049 | Would she go and leave me so? 2049 Would she live with me in her own house-- to be with me all day as dear friends, if nothing more, to sit and read and talk with me?" |
2049 | Would she make her own terms? |
2049 | You are not going to be married soon? |
2049 | ''Why should I go?'' |
2049 | *** What had I better do in these circumstances? |
2049 | --"And the figure?" |
2049 | --"Would she go to the play with me sometimes, and let it be understood that I was paying my addresses to her?" |
2049 | ----?" |
2049 | --Now what am I to think of all this? |
2049 | .What do you think of all this? |
2049 | After all, what is there in her but a pretty figure, and that you ca n''t get a word out of her? |
2049 | Am I mad or a fool? |
2049 | Am I not hated, repulsed, derided by her whom alone I love or ever did love? |
2049 | Am I to believe her or you? |
2049 | And another time, when you were in the same posture, and I reproached you with indifference, you replied in these words,"Do I SEEM INDIFFERENT?" |
2049 | And did you not say since I came back,''YOUR FEELINGS TO ME WERE THE SAME AS EVER?'' |
2049 | And what do you guess was her answer--"Do you think it would be prudent?" |
2049 | And why am I thus treated? |
2049 | And why? |
2049 | But can not you forgive the agony of the moment? |
2049 | But did not you boast you were"very persevering in your resistance to gay young men,"and had been"several times obliged to ring the bell?" |
2049 | But do I love her the less dearly for it? |
2049 | But tell me, there was not a likeness between me and your old lover that struck you at first sight? |
2049 | C----?" |
2049 | C----?" |
2049 | Ca n''t you bring up your own to shew me? |
2049 | Can I live without her? |
2049 | Can I witness such perfection, and bear to think I have lost you for ever? |
2049 | Can you account for it, except on the admission of my worst doubts concerning her? |
2049 | Can you not forget and forgive the past, and judge of me by my conduct in future? |
2049 | Can you not take all my follies in the lump, and say like a good, generous girl,"Well, I''ll think no more of them?" |
2049 | Can you turn it to any thing but good-- comparative good? |
2049 | Could I have thought I should ever live to believe them an inhuman mockery of one who had the sincerest regard for you? |
2049 | Could I see that which you have? |
2049 | Did I not adore her every grace? |
2049 | Did I not live on her smile? |
2049 | Did M---- know of the intimacy that had subsisted between us? |
2049 | Did she think it right and becoming to be free with strangers, and strange to old friends?" |
2049 | Did you always ring it? |
2049 | Did you not love another? |
2049 | Do I not adore you-- and have I merited this return? |
2049 | Do I not love thee, when I can feel such an interest in thy love for another? |
2049 | Do n''t you thank me for that? |
2049 | Do n''t you think it worth that to be made happy? |
2049 | Do you know I think I should like this? |
2049 | Do you know I''m going to write to that sweet rogue presently, having a whole evening to myself in advance of my work? |
2049 | Do you know any one it''s like? |
2049 | Do you know, you would have been delighted with the effect of the Northern twilight on this romantic country as I rode along last night? |
2049 | Do you think if she knew how I love her, my depressions and my altitudes, my wanderings and my constancy, it would not move her? |
2049 | Do you think they will not now turn to rank poison in my veins, and kill me, soul and body? |
2049 | Does not my heart yearn to be with her; and shall I not follow its bidding? |
2049 | Does she bend less enchantingly, because she has turned from me to another? |
2049 | For this picture, this ecstatic vision, what have I of late instead as the image of the reality? |
2049 | H. And can you return them? |
2049 | H. And did he never attempt to persuade you to any other step? |
2049 | H. And did he return your regard? |
2049 | H. And did your mother and family know of it? |
2049 | H. And do you correspond? |
2049 | H. And do you think the impression will never wear out? |
2049 | H. And has time made no alteration? |
2049 | H. And nothing more? |
2049 | H. And was his figure the same? |
2049 | H. And yet you have no hope of ever being his? |
2049 | H. Did I not overhear the conversation down- stairs last night, to which you were a party? |
2049 | H. Do n''t you think it like yourself? |
2049 | H. Do you mean on account of its liberty? |
2049 | H. Have you not told me your spirits grow worse every year? |
2049 | H. Higher than of the maiden state? |
2049 | H. Is that what you thought I meant by SACRIFICES last night? |
2049 | H. Or had it been your old friend, what do you think he would have said in my case? |
2049 | H. Or what am I to think of this story of the footman? |
2049 | H. Tell me, my angel, how was it? |
2049 | H. To whom? |
2049 | H. Was he a young man of rank, then? |
2049 | H. What then broke off your intimacy? |
2049 | H. What, do you mean to Buonaparte? |
2049 | H. Why did he go at last? |
2049 | H. Will you go and leave me so? |
2049 | H."That was all forgiven when we last parted, and your last words were,''I should find you the same as ever''when I came home? |
2049 | Has Mr. P---- called? |
2049 | Has any one called? |
2049 | Has she not murdered me under the mask of the tenderest friendship? |
2049 | Have you read Sardanapalus? |
2049 | How can I thank you for your condescension in letting me know your sweet sentiments? |
2049 | How could I doubt it, looking in her face, and hearing her words, like sighs breathed from the gentlest of all bosoms? |
2049 | How different was the idea I once had of her? |
2049 | How ought I to behave when I go back? |
2049 | How then do I console myself for the loss of her? |
2049 | How? |
2049 | I am to hear from him again in a day or two.--Well, what do you say to all this? |
2049 | I ask you what you yourself would have felt or done, if loving her as I did, you had heard what I did, time after time? |
2049 | I asked her if she would do so at once-- the very next day? |
2049 | I asked what it could mean? |
2049 | I asked, to what? |
2049 | I can settle to nothing: what is the use of all I have done? |
2049 | I gave Betsey a twenty- shilling note which I happened to have in my hand, and on her asking"What''s this for, Sir?" |
2049 | I grant all you say about my self- tormenting folly: but has it been without cause? |
2049 | I have always some horrid dream about her, and wake wondering what is the matter that"she is no longer the same to me as ever?" |
2049 | I however found that C---- was gone, and no one else had been there, of whom I had cause to be jealous.--"Should I see her on the morrow?" |
2049 | I however sprang down stairs, and as they called out to me,"What is it?--What has she done to you?" |
2049 | I know all this; but what do I gain by it, unless I could find some one with her shape and air, to supply the place of the lovely apparition? |
2049 | I never could tire of her sweetness; I feel that I could grow to her, body and soul? |
2049 | I replied,"Why do you treat me thus? |
2049 | I said,"Are you sure of that?" |
2049 | I said,"Do you mean Buonaparte?" |
2049 | I said,"Yes, may I not speak to you? |
2049 | I shall perhaps see thee no more, but I shall still think of thee the same as ever-- I shall say to myself,"Where is she now?--what is she doing?" |
2049 | I went out to roam the desert streets, when, turning a corner, whom should I meet but her very lover? |
2049 | I will not go back there: yet how can I breathe away from her? |
2049 | If she could get THE LITTLE IMAGE mended? |
2049 | If she made a fool of me, what did she make of her lover? |
2049 | If she should be in misfortune, who will comfort her? |
2049 | If that was all, I did not care: but tell me true, is there not a new attachment that is the real cause of your estrangement? |
2049 | In a word, may I come back, and try to behave better? |
2049 | Is it a joke upon me that I make free with you? |
2049 | Is it less sweet because it is withdrawn from me? |
2049 | Is it long ago then? |
2049 | Is it not too true? |
2049 | Is my love then in the power of fortune, or of her caprice? |
2049 | Is she offended at my letting you know she wrote to me, or is it some new affair? |
2049 | Is there not a prior attachment in the case? |
2049 | It is not that you prefer flirting with"gay young men"to becoming a mere dull domestic wife? |
2049 | Not one five minutes''conversation, for the sake of old acquaintance? |
2049 | Or did you get into these dilemmas that made it necessary, merely by the demureness of your looks and ways? |
2049 | Or did you hint at it? |
2049 | Or do you deceive them as well as me? |
2049 | Or do you still see him sometimes? |
2049 | Or had I displeased her by letting Mr. P---- know she wrote to me?" |
2049 | Or had nothing else passed? |
2049 | Or is not the joke against HER sister, unless you make my courtship of you a jest to the whole house? |
2049 | Or shall I turn to the far- off Pentland Hills, with Craig- Crook nestling beneath them, where lives the prince of critics and the king of men? |
2049 | Or was it the fineness of his manners? |
2049 | Or what can I think? |
2049 | Or where have I been?] |
2049 | Or why do I not go and find out the truth at once? |
2049 | S. As you please.-- THE INVITATION H. But I am afraid I tire you with this prosing description of the French character and abuse of the English? |
2049 | S. Do you like the French women better than the English? |
2049 | S. Do you think there is no pleasure in a single life? |
2049 | S. Have I not reason? |
2049 | S."And how did you behave when you returned?" |
2049 | S."Is it nothing, your exposing me to the whole house in the way you did the other evening?" |
2049 | Shall I make a drawing of it, altering the dress a little, to shew you how like it is? |
2049 | Shall I not love her for herself alone, in spite of fickleness and folly? |
2049 | Shall I repeat it? |
2049 | Shall I tell you my opinion? |
2049 | Shall I tell you, but you will not mention it again? |
2049 | She has robbed me of herself: shall she also rob me of my love of her? |
2049 | She said,"Did you wish to speak to me, Sir?" |
2049 | Should I ever behold her again? |
2049 | Slighted by her, on whom my heart by its last fibre hung, where shall I turn? |
2049 | THE FLAGEOLET H. Where have you been, my love? |
2049 | THE QUARREL H. You are angry with me? |
2049 | THE RECONCILIATION H. I have then lost your friendship? |
2049 | Tell me why you have deceived me, and singled me out as your victim? |
2049 | Tell me, love, is there not, besides your attachment to him, a repugnance to me? |
2049 | That was one of the things for which I loved her-- shall I live to hate her for it? |
2049 | That was the question--"Would she have me, or would she not?" |
2049 | Then how can I bear to part with her? |
2049 | There was no abatement of my regard to her; why was she so changed? |
2049 | To what a state am I reduced, and for what? |
2049 | Was I to blame after this to indulge my passion for the loveliest of her sex? |
2049 | Was I to blame in taking you at your word, when every hope I had depended on your sincerity? |
2049 | Was he so very handsome? |
2049 | Was it any thing in my letters? |
2049 | Was it not plain from this that she even then meditated an escape from me to some less sentimental lover? |
2049 | Was it so or not? |
2049 | Was that all? |
2049 | Was there any one else that you did like? |
2049 | Was there? |
2049 | Were she dead, should I not wish to gaze once more upon her pallid features? |
2049 | Were you only afraid of being TAKEN for a light character? |
2049 | What am I? |
2049 | What art thou to me? |
2049 | What can be the reason? |
2049 | What could she find in me? |
2049 | What do you suppose she said the night before I left her? |
2049 | What do you think the little imp made answer? |
2049 | What do you think? |
2049 | What had I done in her absence to have incurred her displeasure? |
2049 | What has her character to rest upon but her attachment to me, which she now denies, not modestly, but impudently? |
2049 | What have I done to become thus hateful to you?" |
2049 | What idle sounds the common phrases, adorable creature, angel, divinity, are? |
2049 | What is to be done? |
2049 | What will you bet me that it was n''t all a trick? |
2049 | When I am dead, who will love her as I have done? |
2049 | When found out, she seemed to say,"Well, what if I am? |
2049 | Where go to live and die far from her? |
2049 | Where shall I be? |
2049 | Where shall I be? |
2049 | Who could ever feel that peace from the touch of her dear hand that I have done; and is it not torn from me for ever? |
2049 | Who is there so low as me? |
2049 | Why do you seem to avoid me as you do? |
2049 | Why had she not written to me? |
2049 | Why should he stay?" |
2049 | Why then is your behaviour so different?" |
2049 | Will you look in and see, about eight o''clock? |
2049 | Will you yourself say that if she had all along no particular regard for me, she will not do as much or more with other more likely men? |
2049 | You do not consider yourself OBLIGED to everyone who asks you for a kiss? |
2049 | can I bear after all to think of her so, or that I am scorned and made a sport of by the creature to whom I had given my whole heart? |
2049 | if such is thy sweetness where thou dost not love, what must thy love have been? |
2049 | is it even possible that she is chaste, and that she has bestowed her loved"endearments"on me( her own sweet word) out of true regard? |
2049 | is it you? |
2049 | ought I not to think myself the happiest of men? |
2049 | when I had followed you into the other room? |
2049 | when I look up? |
2049 | when she is old, who will look in her face, and bless her? |
2049 | you said,''Why could we not go on the same as we had done, and say nothing about the word FOREVER?''" |
35977 | ( this is the last time I shall use that expression) shall I never see you again? |
35977 | **_ Qua conjugata, que virgo non concupiscebat absentem,& non exardescebat in presentem? |
35977 | After this can I hope God should open to me the treasures of his mercy? |
35977 | Ah? |
35977 | All who are about me admired my virtue, but could their eyes penetrate into my heart, what would they not discover? |
35977 | And do you question either? |
35977 | And love th''offender, yet detest th''offence? |
35977 | And must I use any other prayers than my own to prevail upon you? |
35977 | And what a happiness is it, not to be in a capacity of sinning? |
35977 | And what time shall I find for those prayers you speak of? |
35977 | And yet we can be saved by nothing but the Cross, why then do we refuse to bear it? |
35977 | And, can you believe it,_ Philintus_? |
35977 | Are not interest and policy their only rules? |
35977 | Are these the wishes of my inmost soul? |
35977 | Are we not already sufficiently miserable? |
35977 | But can you be sure marriage will not be the tomb of her love? |
35977 | But do you owe nothing more to us than to that friend, be the friendship between you ever so intimate? |
35977 | But do you,_ Abelard_, never see_ Heloise_ in your sleep? |
35977 | But how barbarous was your punishment? |
35977 | But how difficult is this in the trouble which surrounds me? |
35977 | But how much did my curiosity cost me? |
35977 | But if you do not continue your concern for me, If I lose your affection, what have I gained by my imprisonment? |
35977 | But to what purpose dost thou still arm thyself against me? |
35977 | But what could resist you? |
35977 | But what do I say? |
35977 | But what excuses could I not find in you, if the crime were excusable? |
35977 | But what have I gained by this? |
35977 | But what is there for you to fear? |
35977 | But what secret trouble rises in my soul, what unthought- of motion opposes the resolution I formed of sighing no more for_ Abelard_? |
35977 | But when love has once been sincere, how difficult it is to determine to love no more? |
35977 | But whence, arose that pray''r? |
35977 | But whither am I transported? |
35977 | But whither does my vain imagination carry me? |
35977 | But why should I intreat you in the name of your children? |
35977 | But why should I on others''prayers depend? |
35977 | But why should I rave at your assassins? |
35977 | But, in this article of consolation, how comes it to pass that he makes no mention of_ Heloise_? |
35977 | But, tell me, whence proceeds your neglect of me since my being professed? |
35977 | Can any one sin who is persuaded of this? |
35977 | Can it be criminal for you to imitate St. Jerome, and discourse with me concerning the Scripture? |
35977 | Can not this habit of penitence which I wear interest Heaven to treat me more favourably? |
35977 | Can so heavy a misfortune leave me a moment''s quiet? |
35977 | Can you think that the traces you have drawn in my heart can ever be worn out? |
35977 | Canst thou behold those lovely eyes without recollecting those amorous glances which have been so fatal to thee? |
35977 | Canst thou forget that sad, that solemn day, When victims at yon altar''s foot we lay? |
35977 | Canst thou forget what tears that moment fell, When, warm in youth, I bade the world farewell? |
35977 | Could I not more easily comfort myself in my afflictions? |
35977 | Could an outrageous husband make a villain suffer more that had dishonoured his bed? |
35977 | Could you ever retire but you drew the eyes and hearts of all after you? |
35977 | Could you imagine it possible for any mortal to blot you from my heart? |
35977 | Could you think me guilty of sacrificing the virtuous and learned_ Abelard_ to any other but to God? |
35977 | Did not every one rejoice in having seen you? |
35977 | Did not the apprehension of causing my present death make the pen drop from your hand? |
35977 | Did you write thus to me before Fortune had ruined my happiness? |
35977 | Do fathers consult the inclinations of their children when they settle them? |
35977 | Do n''t you know, that there is no action of life which draws after it so sure and long a repentance, and to so little purpose? |
35977 | Do you now,_ Heloise_, applaud my design of making you walk in the steps of the saints? |
35977 | Do you think learning ought to make_ Heloise_ more amiable? |
35977 | Does thy grace or my own despair draw these words from me? |
35977 | Does_ Abelard_ then, said I, suspect he shall see renewed in me the example of Lot''s wife, who could not forbear looking back when she left Sodom? |
35977 | Dost thou still nourish this destructive flame? |
35977 | For if my conversion was sincere, how could I take a pleasure to relate my past follies? |
35977 | Fulbert surprised me with_ Heloise_, and what man that had a soul in him would not have borne any ignominy on the same conditions? |
35977 | Has Vice such charms to well- born souls? |
35977 | Hath not our Saviour borne it before us, and died for us, to the end that we might also bear it and desire to die also? |
35977 | Have I not tired out his forgiveness? |
35977 | Have not the gentle rules of Peace and Heav''n, From thy soft soul this fatal passion driv''n? |
35977 | Have you purchased your vocation at so slight a rate, as that you should not turn it to the best advantage? |
35977 | How can I do that when you frighten me with apprehensions that continually possess my mind day and night? |
35977 | How can I separate from the person I love the passion I must detest? |
35977 | How did I deceive myself with the hopes that you would be wholly mine when I took the veil, and engaged myself to live for ever under your laws? |
35977 | How difficult is it to fight always for duty against inclination? |
35977 | How happy is the blameless Vestal''s lot? |
35977 | How happy should I be could I wash out with my tears the memory of those pleasures which yet I think of with delight? |
35977 | How little is that? |
35977 | How many ladies laid claim to them? |
35977 | How much better were it entirely to forget the object of it, than to preserve the memory of it, so fatal to the quiet of my life and salvation? |
35977 | How much did I wrong you, and what weakness did I impute to you? |
35977 | How the dear object from the crime remove, Or how distinguish penitence from love? |
35977 | How unhappy am I? |
35977 | How void of reason are men, said Seneca, to make distant evils present by reflection, and to take pains before death to lose all the comforts of life? |
35977 | How weak are we in ourselves, if we do not support ourselves on the cross of Christ? |
35977 | How would my enemies, Champeaux and Anselm, have triumphed, had they seen the redoubted philosopher in such a wretched condition? |
35977 | I could meet him at all his assignations, and would I decline following him to the feats of holiness? |
35977 | I dote on the danger which threatens me, how then can I avoid falling? |
35977 | I have armed my own hands against myself? |
35977 | I have made them in the presence of God; whither shall I fly from his wrath if I violate them? |
35977 | I reproach myself for my own faults, I accuse you for yours, and to what purpose? |
35977 | I said to myself, there was a time when he could rely upon my bare word, and does he now want vows to secure himself of me? |
35977 | I tear myself from all that pleases me? |
35977 | I thought you disengaged and free; And can you still, still sigh and weep for me? |
35977 | I was young;--could she show an infallibility to those vows which my heart never formed for any but herself? |
35977 | I who have not refused to be a victim of pleasure to gratify him, can he think I would refuse to be a sacrifice of honour to obey him? |
35977 | If I had loved pleasures, could I not yet have found means to have gratified myself? |
35977 | If a picture, which is but a mute representation of an object, can give such pleasure, what can not letters inspire? |
35977 | If the memory of him has caused thee so much trouble,_ Heloise_, what will not his presence do? |
35977 | Is it not your part to prepare me, by your powerful exhortations against that great crisis, which shakes the most resolute and confirmed minds? |
35977 | Is it not your part to receive my last sighs; take care of my funeral, and give an account of my manners and faith? |
35977 | Is it possible I should fear obtaining any thing of you, when I ask it in my own name? |
35977 | Is it possible a genius so great as yours should never get above his past misfortunes? |
35977 | Is it possible that_ Abelard_ should in earnest think of marrying_ Heloise_? |
35977 | Is it possible to renounce one''s self entirely at the age of two and twenty? |
35977 | Is it so hard for one who loves to write? |
35977 | Is not your soul ravished at so saving a command? |
35977 | Is this a state of reprobation? |
35977 | Is this discourse directed to my dear_ Abelard_? |
35977 | It is for you for_ Abelard_, that I have resolved to live; if you are ravished from me, what use can I make of my miserable days? |
35977 | Lucille( for that was her name) taking me aside one day, said, What do you intend, brother? |
35977 | Marriage has made such a correspondence lawful; and since you can, without giving the least scandal, satisfy me, why will you not? |
35977 | Might not a small temptation have changed you? |
35977 | Might not a young woman, at the noise of the flames, and the fall of Sodom, look back, and pity some one person? |
35977 | Must I renounce my vows? |
35977 | Must a weak mind fortify one that is so much superior? |
35977 | Must a wife draw on you that punishment which ought not to fall on any but an adulterous lover? |
35977 | My reputation had spread itself every where; and could a virtuous lady resist a man that had confounded all the learned of the age? |
35977 | Nor foes nor fortune take this pow''r away; And is my_ Abelard_ less kind than they? |
35977 | Or did you believe yourself a greater master to teach vice than virtue, or did you think it was more easy to persuade me to the first than the latter? |
35977 | Ought this to seem strange to you, who know how monasteries are filled now- a- days? |
35977 | Our life here is but a languishing death? |
35977 | Our present disgraces are sufficient to employ our thoughts continually, and shall we seek new arguments of grief in futurities? |
35977 | Remember what St._ Paul_ says,_ Art thou loosed from a wife? |
35977 | Shall the laws and customs which the gross and carnal world has invented hold us together more surely than the bonds of mutual affection? |
35977 | Shall this be the fruit of my meditations? |
35977 | Shall we have so little courage, and shall that uncertainty your heart labours with, of serving two masters, affect mine too? |
35977 | Sprung it from piety, or from despair? |
35977 | The wounds I have already received leave no room for new ones; why can not I urge thee to kill me? |
35977 | Then too, when Fate shall thy fair frame destroy? |
35977 | These tender names, can not they move you? |
35977 | Thou dost not give me any respite? |
35977 | Thus those songs will be sung in honour of other women which you designed only for me? |
35977 | Transform''d like these pale swarms that round me move, Of blest insensibles-- who know no love? |
35977 | Was it not the sole view of pleasure which engaged you to me? |
35977 | Was not your Treatise of Divinity condemned to be burnt? |
35977 | Were you not threatened with perpetual imprisonment? |
35977 | What a fool am I to tell you my dreams, who are sensible of these pleasures? |
35977 | What a haven of rest is this to a jealous mind? |
35977 | What a prodigy am I? |
35977 | What a storm was raised against you by the treacherous monks, when you did them the honour to be called their Brother? |
35977 | What abhorrence can I be said to have of my sins, if the objects of them are always amiable to me? |
35977 | What an injury shall I do the Church? |
35977 | What an odd fight will it be to see maids and scholars, desks and cradles, books and distaffs, pens and spindles, one among another? |
35977 | What answer can you make? |
35977 | What can not you induce a heart to, whose weakness you so perfectly know? |
35977 | What country, what city, has not desired your presence? |
35977 | What curse may I not justly fear, should I rob the world of so eminent a person as you are? |
35977 | What did I not say to stop your tears? |
35977 | What did not those two false prophets** accuse you of, who declaimed so severely against you before the Council of Sens? |
35977 | What doth thou say, wretched_ Heloise_? |
35977 | What efforts, what relapses, what agitations, do we undergo? |
35977 | What great advantages would philosophy give us over other men, if by studying it we could learn to govern our passions? |
35977 | What have I not suffered,_ Abelard_, while I kept alive in my retirement those fires which ruined me in the world? |
35977 | What have I to hope for after this loss of you? |
35977 | What means have I not used? |
35977 | What occasion had you to praise me? |
35977 | What occasion have I given him in the whole course of my life to admit the least suspicion? |
35977 | What powerful Deity, what hallow''d Shrine, Can save me from a love, a faith like thine? |
35977 | What progress might one make in the ways of virtue, who is not obliged to fight an enemy for every foot of ground? |
35977 | What recompense can I hope for? |
35977 | What right had a cruel uncle over us? |
35977 | What rivals did your gallantries of this kind occasion me? |
35977 | What scandals were vented on occasion of the name Paraclete given to your chapel? |
35977 | What would the world say should they read your letters as I do? |
35977 | When I am in this condition, why dost not thou, O Lord, pity my weakness, and strengthen me by thy grace? |
35977 | When I but think of this last separation; I feel all the pangs of death; what shall I be then, if I should see this dreadful hour? |
35977 | When I had settled her here, can you believe it,_ Philintus_? |
35977 | When love is liberty, and nature law, All then is full possessing and possess''d, No craving void left akeing in the breast? |
35977 | Where heav''nly- pensive Contemplation dwells, And ever- musing Melancholy reigns; What means this tumult in a Vestal''s veins? |
35977 | Where was I? |
35977 | Where was your_ Heloise_ then? |
35977 | Where, where was_ Eloisa_? |
35977 | Who does not know that it is for the glory of God to find no other foundation in man for his mercy than man''s very weakness? |
35977 | Why did you not deceive me for a while, rather than immediately abandon me? |
35977 | Why do you not deal after this manner with me? |
35977 | Why feels my heart its long- forgotten beat? |
35977 | Why provoke a jealous God by a blasphemy? |
35977 | Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat? |
35977 | Why should I conceal from you the secret of my call? |
35977 | Why should I only reap no advantage from your learning? |
35977 | Why should you use eloquence to reproach me for my flight, and for my silence? |
35977 | Why was I born to be the occasion of so tragical an accident? |
35977 | Will it not be more agreeable to me, said she, to see myself your mistress than your wife? |
35977 | Will she not be a woman? |
35977 | Will the tears I shed be sufficient to render it odious to me? |
35977 | Will you have the cruelty to abandon me? |
35977 | Will you marry her then? |
35977 | With what ease did you compose verses? |
35977 | Would I its soft, its tend''rest sense controul? |
35977 | Would I, thus touch''d, this glowing heart refine, To the cold substance of this marble shrine? |
35977 | Would you destroy my piety in its infant- state? |
35977 | Would you have me forsake the convent into which I am but newly entered? |
35977 | Would you have me stifle the inspirations of the Holy Ghost? |
35977 | Ye holy mansions, ye impenetrable retreats, from what numberless apprehensions have you freed me? |
35977 | You are no longer of the world; you have renounced it; I am a Religious, devoted to solitude; shall we make no advantage of our condition? |
35977 | You can not but remember,( for what do not lovers remember?) |
35977 | You have quitted the world, and what object was worthy to detain you there? |
35977 | You may adore all this if you please; but not to flatter you, what is beauty but a flower, which may be blasted by the least fit of sickness? |
35977 | You tell me, that it is for me you live under that veil which covers you; why do you profane your vocation with such words? |
35977 | _ Job_ had no enemy more cruel than his wife: what temptations did he not bear? |
35977 | and do you not wish you could like Magdalen, wash our Saviour''s feet with your tears? |
35977 | and has not my tenderness, by leaving you nothing to wish for, extinguished your desires? |
35977 | and how could you describe them to me? |
35977 | and how long are we tossed in this confusion, unable to exert our reason, to possess our souls, or to rule our affections? |
35977 | and how was I surprised to find the whole letter filled with a particular and melancholy account of our misfortunes? |
35977 | and what a shame and disparagement will it be to you, whom Nature has fitted for the public good, to devote yourself entirely to a wife? |
35977 | and why? |
35977 | and will not love have more power than marriage to keep our hearts firmly united? |
35977 | and, when we have once drank of the cup of sinners, is it with such difficulty that we take the chalice of saints? |
35977 | are you deaf to his voice? |
35977 | are you insensible to words so full of kindness? |
35977 | art thou still the same? |
35977 | at an age which claims the most absolute liberty, could you think the world no longer worthy of your regard? |
35977 | but how humbled ought we to be when we can not master them? |
35977 | can I never free myself from those chains which bind me to him? |
35977 | can my feeble reason resist such powerful assaults? |
35977 | can we dare to offend thee? |
35977 | canst thou view that majestic air of_ Abelard_ without entertaining a jealousy of every one that sees so charming a man? |
35977 | do my words give you any relish for penitence? |
35977 | do you acquaint me with a thing so certain to afflict me? |
35977 | do you doubt? |
35977 | do you entertain her with the same language as formerly when Fulbert committed her to your care? |
35977 | does not the love of_ Heloise_ still burn in my heart_?_ I have not yet triumphed over that happy passion. |
35977 | dost thou know what thou desirest? |
35977 | for what hast thou to dread? |
35977 | hast thou not persecuted me enough? |
35977 | have I not yet triumphed over my love? |
35977 | have you not remorse for your wanderings? |
35977 | how does she appear to you? |
35977 | how far are we from such a happy temper? |
35977 | how much shall I disoblige the learned? |
35977 | how was it possible I should not be certain of your merit? |
35977 | how will it be possible for thee to keep thy reason at the sight of so amiable a man? |
35977 | in what temper did you conceive these mournful ideas? |
35977 | must we aggravate our sorrows? |
35977 | my memory is perpetually filled with bitter remembrances of past evils, and are there more to be feared still? |
35977 | one that practices all those virtues he teaches? |
35977 | or St. Austin, and explain to me the nature of grace? |
35977 | or Tertullian, and preach mortification? |
35977 | or are these the consequences of a long drunkenness in profane love? |
35977 | or dost thou fear, amidst the numerous torments thou heapest on me, dost thou fear that such a stroke would deliver me from all? |
35977 | or how bear up against my grief? |
