There is a view in which all the love of our neighbor, the
impulses toward action, help, and beneficence, the desire for
removing human error, clearing human confusion, and diminish-
ing human misery, the noble aspiration to leave the world better
and happier than we found it,-motives
eminently
such as are
called social,-come in as part of the grounds of culture, and the

''T is not,' said Juan, 'for my present doom
I mourn, but for the past;--I loved a maid:'-
He paused, and his dark eye grew full of gloom;
A single tear upon his eyelash staid
A moment, and then dropp'd; 'but to resume,
'T is not my present lot, as I have said,
Which I deplore so much; for I have borne
Hardships which have the
hardiest
overworn,
'On the rough deep.

Tenia yo por contrata el derecho de ocupar el palco bajo del proscenio
de la izquierda en todas las funciones, excepto en las de beneficio:
generosidad que hasta entónces no habia costado nada á la empresa,
porque apenas habia tenido diez entradas llenas, fuera de los estrenos:
mi familia entraba en el teatro por la plaza del Angel, y al palco
por el escenario; con cuya costumbre sólo los actores me veian en el
teatro, á donde no iba yo nunca á hacerme ver, sino á estudiar desde el
fondo escondido del palco lo que en escena pasaba, y el trabajo de los
actores para quienes me habia
comprometido
á escribir.

We two
We two take each other by the hand
We believe
everywhere
in our house
Under the soft tree under the black sky
Beneath the roofs at the edge of the fire
In the empty street in broad daylight
In the wandering eyes of the crowd
By the side of the foolish and wise
Among the grown-ups and children
Love's not mysterious at all
We are the evidence ourselves
In our house lovers believe.
