On verra plus d'une fois dans la suite les bizarres effets de cette disposition si misanthrope et si sombre en apparence, mais qui vient • en effet d'un cœur trop affectueux , trop aimant, trop tendre , qui, faute d'en trouver d'existants qui lui ressemblent, est forcé de s'alimenter...
Side 165 - Oh! he will tell thee, that the wealth of worlds Should ne'er seduce his bosom to forego That sacred hour...
Side 116 - For praise too dearly loved, or warmly sought, Enfeebles all internal strength of thought; And the weak soul, within itself unblest, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.
