If that blind fury that engenders wars,
Fails to rouse the creatures of a kind,
Whether swift bird aloft or fleeting hind,
Whether equipped with scales or sharpened claws,
What ardent Fury in her pincers' jaws
Gripped your hearts, so poisoned the mind,
That intent on mutual cruelty, we find,
Into your own
entrails
your own blade bores?

Comme Saint-Loup avait déjà l'air un peu surpris qu'une
jeune fille eût habité chez moi tout un hiver sans que je lui en eusse

habite ici», il eût pu être froissé de mon manque de confiance.

On the Sunday after his decease, bishop
Burnet
