gout, or, when the vigour of that was abated, in
much weakness of his limbs when the pain was
gone, were so great, that he could not be without
the attendance of four servants about his own per-
son ; having, in those seasons when he enjoyed most
health and underwent least pain, his knees, legs, and
feet so weak, that he could not walk, especially up
or down stairs, without the help of two men ; and
when he was seized upon by the gout, they were
not able to perform the office of watching : so that
to the English servants which he had brought with
him, which with a cook, and a maid to wash his
linen, amounted to six or seven, he was compelled
to take four or five French servants for the mar-

While activists were
permeated
by the certainty that the present would be filled with the traces of the coming, todays disenchanted live out of the conviction that the future has already been there—and nobody can bear to think of a second visit.

Sloterdijk - Rage and Time |

Behold the child, by Nature's kindly law,
Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw:
Some
livelier
plaything gives his youth delight,
A little louder, but as empty quite:
Scarves, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage,
And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:
Pleased with this bauble still, as that before;
Till tired he sleeps, and life's poor play is o'er.

you have broken off a

in the wind,
it is hurled out,
whirls up and sinks,
a green stone.

Distress
I don't come to conquer your flesh tonight, O beast
In whom are the sins of the race, nor to stir
In your foul tresses a
mournful
tempest
Beneath the fatal boredom my kisses pour:
A heavy sleep without those dreams that creep
Under curtains alien to remorse, I ask of your bed,
Sleep you can savour after your dark deceits,
You who know more of Nothingness than the dead.

We sought one another before
we had scene one another, and by the reports we heard one of
another; which wrought a greater violence in us, than the reason of
reports may well beare; I thinke by some secret
ordinance
of the
heavens, we embraced one another by our names.
