"Will prove a general favourite." — Academy. "This edition is essentially one for the library." — Daily News. " The best one-volume edition we have yet seen.
Side 82 - He had no breath, no being, but in hers; She was his voice; he did not speak to her, But trembled on her words; she was his sight, For his eye follow'd hers, and saw with hers, Which colour'd all his objects:— he had ceased To live within himself; she was his life, The ocean to the river of his thoughts, Which terminated all...
