Where the darkest batteries frowned
Death in the air all round,
And the black torpedoes
beneath!

XL
"Heavens grant if evil, yet no mishap I dread,
Or harm they
threaten
against this camp of thine,
That all that mischief fall upon my head,
Theirs be the conquest, and the danger mine;
And let them safe bring home their captain dead,
Buried in pomp of triumph's glorious shine.

And learning different things from different people, they improved upon them: and
imitating
in everything the constitution of the Lacedaemonians, they preserved it better than the Lacedaemonians themselves; but now, having selected whatever was useful from the practices of their enemies, they have at the same time turned aside to imitate them in what is vicious and mischievous.

A newspaper is a collection of half-injustices
Which, bawled by boys from mile to mile,
Spreads its curious opinion
To a million merciful and sneering men,
While
families
cuddle the joys of the fireside
When spurred by tale of dire lone agony.

Swann; ma grand’tante parlant à haute voix, pour
prêcher d’exemple, sur un ton qu’elle s’efforçait de rendre naturel,
disait de ne pas chuchoter ainsi; que rien n’est plus désobligeant
pour une personne qui arrive et à qui cela fait croire qu’on est en
train de dire des choses qu’elle ne doit pas entendre; et on envoyait
en
éclaireur
ma grand’mère, toujours heureuse d’avoir un prétexte pour
faire un tour de jardin de plus, et qui en profitait pour arracher
subrepticement au passage quelques tuteurs de rosiers afin de rendre
aux roses un peu de naturel, comme une mère qui, pour les faire
bouffer, passe la main dans les cheveux de son fils que le coiffeur a
trop aplatis.

Nevertheless he resolved to go and seek his luck in the streets
of Seville; and after
addressing
a prayer to the Virgin de la
Esperanza, to whom he was very devoted, he shook off the bits
of straw which clung to his hair, and hurried out of the stable
where he had slept.
