‘Thank you,’ said Dorothy
‘And after that,’ added Mrs Creevy, ‘I’ve got a little something as I want to
say to you ’
Dorothy’s heart stirred Did that ‘little

mean the longed-for rise

purse from a locked drawer m the dresser, opened it and licked her thumb
‘Twelve weeks and five days,’ she said ‘Twelve weeks is near enough No
need to be particular to a day That makes six pounds ’
She counted out five dingy pound notes and two ten-shilling notes; then,
examining one of the notes and apparently finding it too clean, she put it back
into her purse and fished out another that had been torn in half She went to
the dresser, got a piece of transparent sticky paper and carefully stuck the two
halves together Then she handed it, together with the other six, to Dorothy
‘There you are, Miss Millborough,’ she said ‘And now, will you just leave
the house at once, pleased I shan’t be wanting you any longer ’
‘You won’t be-’
Dorothy’s entrails seemed to have turned to ice All the blood drained out of
her face But even now, in her terror and despair, she was not absolutely sure of

Though it should run for its own getting, Will turn aside to sneer at
'Cause he hath
No coin, no will to snatch the aftermath Of Mammon
Such an one as women draw away from
For the tobacco ashes scattered on his coat And sith his throat
Shows razor's
unfamiliarity
And three days' beard ;
Such an one picking a ragged Backless copy from the stall,
Too cheap for cataloguing, Loquitur,
"Ah-eh!

and not only bright
With gladness: I have devised an endless pain,
The fearful spiritual pain of love, to hold
In a firm fire,
unalterably
bright,
The shining forth of Spirit's imagination
Declared against the investing dark, a light
Of pain and joy, equal for man and woman.

Candide by Voltaire |

7 All things are murderous
When you come to your Time
8 Long did your every gain
Come at hardship's price
9 Disaster deafens you
To questions that I cry
10 I must steel myself for you
Will never again reply
11 Would that my heart could face
Your death for a moment's time
12 Would that the Fates had spared
Your life instead of mine
The original:
طافَ يَبغي نَجْوَةً مَن هَلَاكٍ فهَلَك
لَيتَ شِعْري ضَلَّةً أيّ شيءٍ قَتَلَك
أَمريضٌ لم تُعَدْ أَم عدوٌّ خَتَلَك
أم تَوَلّى بِكَ ما غالَ في الدهْرِ السُّلَك
والمنايا رَصَدٌ للفَتىً حيثُ سَلَك
طالَ ما قد نِلتَ في غَيرِ كَدٍّ أمَلَك
كلُّ
شَيءٍ
قاتلٌ حينَ تلقَى أجَلَك
أيّ شيء حَسَنٍ لفتىً لم يَكُ لَك
إِنَّ أمراً فادِحاً عَنْ جوابي شَغَلَك
سأُعَزِّي النفْسَ إذ لم تُجِبْ مَن سأَلَك
ليتَ قلبي ساعةً صَبْرَهُ عَنكَ مَلَك
ليتَ نَفْسي قُدِّمَت للمَنايا بَدَلَك

So soon as he had finished, the youth began, not to play,
but to utter sounds that were monotonous, and neither resembling the
harmony of the old man's
instrument
nor the songs of the birds; I since
found that he read aloud, but at that time I knew nothing of the
science of words or letters.
