Seite 232 - more at his ease with his mother, and poured out his youthful heart to her with great unreserve. If she had lived longer, she would, perhaps, have been less to him ; but in the years through which he had hitherto passed, a woman was to him more than a man. If to the softer sex belong more fickleness and inconsistency, if they have less firmness of purpose and depth of combination, than are to be found in us, this was, to the present moment, totally, or almost totally, unadverted to by Julian. Add...
Seite 85 - Words of love and endearment are amongst the first he utters. How delightful is it to them, that his tongue should assure them of what they had before learned only from dumb signs and uncertain gestures ! It is like the first declaration between a lover and his mistress. No ; there was nothing doubtful before ; but articulated sounds are as the seal to the bond, and make assurance doubly sure. It was now that Julian began to be caressing, that he would stroke down the hair upon Cloudesley's brow,...
Seite 15 - Not a penny. I have been content, sir, you should lay my countenance to pawn : I have grated upon my good friends for three reprieves for you and your coach-fellow, Nym ; or else you had looked through the grate, like a geminy of baboons.
Seite 216 - ... without opening the pores," I confess that I have little sympathy, still less with the habitual loafer, whose ulterior motives it Is my nature to suspect. Athleticism— in moderation always— is part and parcel of University life, and he will be best following the Preacher's advice to "rejoice in his youth, and let his heart cheer him in the days of his youth...
Seite 86 - He imitates every thing he sees ; and plays visits and entertainments with a seriousness of face, and an earnestness of attention, which is irresistibly comic. He gives his whole soul to it, and performs his part with a mixture of affected demureness and simplicity, which might put professional practitioners to the blush. The ingenuity of Julian was truly extraordinary. He made houses, and collected the little implements of furniture about him, which are usually supplied to children ; and, when all...
Seite 225 - Brisk as the April buds in primrose-season. Insensibly and by degrees the new set of companions with whom Julian associated himself, and Francesco in particular, began to desert that moderation which had hitherto stamped their proceedings. Innocence was no longer the clear characteristic of their conduct., They dabbled with the arguments of vice, and found out that such as trampled upon the censure of the world had much that might be said on their side of the question. Their proceeding had the marks...
Seite 40 - In this situation, particularly when the shades of evening began to prevail, and in the twilight, my senses were bewildered, and I seemed to see a multitude of half-formed visions. Once especially, as I passed through a wood by moonlight, I suddenly saw my brother's face, looking out from among the trees as I passed. I saw the features as distinctly as if the meridian sun had beamed upon them. The countenance was as white as death ; and the expression was past speaking pitiful. It was by degrees...
Seite 40 - I passed. I saw the features as distinctly as if the meridian sun had beamed upon them... It was by degrees that the features showed themselves thus out of what had been a formless shadow. I gazed upon it intently. Presently it faded away by as insensible degrees as those by which it had become agonisingly clear. After a short time it returned.
Seite 39 - ... Vienna to Ostend, or worse than alone with my valet in the same vehicle, to speak when he was spoken to, and do as he was directed I traversed in my route many extensive forests, and many sandy and dismal plains. My journey was made in the bleakest and most naked season of the year. Dark clouds were perpetually hurried along the horizon; and the air was nipping and severe. I seldom slept in my carriage, but was left to the uncomfortable communion of my own thoughts. I slept not, but was lost...
