And
surely if we deduct all those days of our life which we might
wish unlived, and which abate the comfort of those we now live,
if we reckon up only those days which God hath
accepted
of
our lives, a life of good years will hardly be a span long; the
son in this sense may outlive the father, and none be climac-
terically old.

But in him-self with manhod gan restreyne
Ech rakel dede and ech unbrydled chere,
That alle tho that liven, sooth to seyne, 430
Ne sholde han wist, by word or by manere,

Demosthenes - Orations - v2 |

And Catherine (we must say thus much for Catherine),
Though bold and bloody, was the kind of thing
Whose
temporary
passion was quite flattering,
Because each lover look'd a sort of king,
Made up upon an amatory pattern,
A royal husband in all save the ring--
Which, being the damn'dest part of matrimony,
Seem'd taking out the sting to leave the honey.

Plonger dans vos beaux yeux comme dans un beau songe,
Et

Baudelaire - Fleurs Du Mal |
|
And herein I notice an
instance
of the short-sightedness of human
desires, that oftentimes on moonlight nights, during my first mournful
abode in London, my consolation was (if such it could be thought) to gaze
from Oxford Street up every avenue in succession which pierces through
the heart of Marylebone to the fields and the woods; for _that_, said I,
travelling with my eyes up the long vistas which lay part in light and
part in shade, "_that_ is the road to the North, and therefore to, and if
I had the wings of a dove, _that_ way I would fly for comfort.
