Sydney walked about the little garden
with her daughters, and endeavoured to
compose her agitated spirits* By the
tender assiduities of Isabel, and the art-
less chat of Rose, aided by those self ex-
ertions which can best fortify the mind,
she
gradually
became tranquil.

'Tom' was
evidently
the idol of her life; never to be shaken
on his pedestal by any commotion; always to be believed in, and done
homage to with the whole faith of her heart, come what might.

No puedo hacer al tiempo volver atrás: no puedo quitarme de encima ni
uno solo de mis sesenta y cuatro años: no puedo hacer volver á mis
manos el capital pagado por las deudas de mi herencia paterna, ni lo
por mí gastado en vivir bien ó mal: no puedo rescindir los contratos de
venta de mi _Don Juan_ ni de mi _Zapatero y el Rey_, escritos cuando
la ley de propiedad no existia: esta ley no tiene efecto retroactivo
ni protege mi propiedad por lesion enorme: y no puedo pedir limosna en
España, sinó poniéndome al pecho un cartel que diga: «este es el autor
de _Don Juan Tenorio_, que mantiene en la primera quincena de Noviembre
todos los teatros de verso de España y América;»--pero para esto seria
preciso que yo
esplicase
cómo el autor de tal obra podia pedir limosna;
cosa muy fácil de esplicar, pero muy difícil de comprender.

Dickinson - Two - Complete |
|
Love 'mid the grass beneath a laurel green--
The plant divine which long my flame has fed,
Whose shade for me less bright than sad is seen--
A cunning net of gold and pearls had spread:
Its bait the seed he sows and reaps, I ween
Bitter and sweet, which I desire, yet dread:
Gentle and soft his call, as ne'er has been
Since first on Adam's eyes the day was shed:
And the bright light which
disenthrones
the sun
Was flashing round, and in her hand, more fair
Than snow or ivory, was the master rope.

Petrarch - Poems |

O, Civil Fury, you alone are the cause,
In Macedonian fields sowing new wars,
Arming Pompey against Caesar there,
So that achieving the rich crown of all,
Roman grandeur, prospering everywhere,
Might tumble down in more
disastrous
fall.
