" You make him a denizen of all nations, a contemporary of all ages. The world has been created for him.
Page 118 - Oh, the grave ! the grave ! It buries every error, covers every defect, extinguishes every resentment ! From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender recollections.
Page 153 - Growling horribly close to my ear, he shook me as a terrier dog does a rat. The shock produced a stupor similar to that which seems to be felt by a mouse after the first shake of the cat It caused a sort of dreaminess, in which there was no sense of pain or feelr ing of terror, though quite conscious of all that was happening.
