16570Have you received the''Noetes Atticæ?''
16570His praise is nothing to the purpose: what could he say?

16570How does Pratt get on, or rather get off, Joe Blackett''s posthumous stock?
16570How else''fell the angels,''even according to your creed?
16570How often must he make me say the same thing?

16570I reverence and admire him; but I wo n''t give up my opinion-- why should I?
16570I speak from report,--for what is cookery to a leguminous- eating ascetic?
16570I stared, and said,''Certainly, but why?''

16570It is true I am young enough to begin again, but with whom can I retrace the laughing part of life?
16570No one else, except Augusta, cares for me; no ties-- no trammels--_andiamo dunque-- se torniamo, bene-- se non, ch''importa_?
16570Now, might not some of this''sutor ultra crepidam''s''friends and seducers have done a decent action without inveigling Pratt into biography?
16570Now, where lay the difference between_ her_ and_ mamma_, and Lady** and daughter?
16570Or low Dubost( as once the world has seen) Degrade God''s creatures in his graphic spleen?
16570Or should some limner join, for show or sale, A maid of honour to a mermaid''s tail?

16570What will_ they_ do( and I do) with the hundred and one rejected Troubadours?
16570What would he have been, if a patrician?
16570What you are about, I can not guess, even from your date;--not dauncing to the sound of the gitourney in the Halls of the Lowthers?
16570When death is a relief, and the only relief it appears that you will afford him, will he be dragooned into tranquillity?
16570When do you fix the day, that I may take you up according to contract?

16570Why should Junius be yet dead?
16570Why, what thou''st stole is not enow; And, were it lawfully thine own, Does Rogers want it most, or thou?
16570Will that which could not be effected by your grenadiers, be accomplished by your executioners?
16570Will the famished wretch who has braved your bayonets be appalled by your gibbets?

16549I am sorry Gifford has made no further remarks beyond the first Act: does he think all the English equally sterling as he thought the first? 16549 I should be glad to know why your Quarter_ing_ Reviewers, at the close of''The Fall of Jerusalem,''accuse me of Manicheism?

16549What did Parr mean by''haughtiness and coldness?'' 16549 What do I say-- a mirror of my heart?
16549What do you mean by Polidori''s_ Diary_? 16549 What do you mean?

16549Are not thy waters sweeping, dark, and strong?
16549As I said this in Italian, with some emphasis, she started up in a fright, and said,''_ Oh, my God, is_ he_ coming_?''
16549As to reform, I did reform-- what would you have?
16549As to what travellers report, what_ are travellers_?

16549But what could I do?
16549But wherein do they differ?
16549But why publish the names of the two girls?

16549By the way, have you never received a translation of St. Paul which I sent you,_ not_ for publication, before I went to Rome?
16549Can any thing be more full of pathos?

16549Do n''t you think Croker would do it for us?
16549Do you remember the epitaph on Voltaire?
16549Do you suppose me such a booby as not to be very much obliged to him?
16549Do you think me a coxcomb or a madman, to be capable of such an exhibition?
16549Does it not bring to mind the saying of Julius, that the wife of Caesar must not even be suspected?
16549For the rest, what_ right_ have you to reproach me?
16549Has he had his letter?
16549Has not he lately married a young woman; and was not he Madame Talleyrand''s_ cavaliere servente_ in India years ago?
16549Have I sinn''d Against your ordinances?
16549Have you had no new babe of literature sprung up to replace the dead, the distant, the tired, and the_ re_tired?

16549I ca n''t conceive in what, and for what, he abuses you: what have you done?
16549I have tried a thousand things, and the colours all come off; and besides, they do n''t grow; ca n''t he invent something to make them grow?''
16549I perceive that Mr. Hobhouse has been challenged by Major Cartwright-- Is the Major''so cunning of fence?''
16549I sent you, before leaving Venice, the real original sketch which gave rise to the''Vampire,''& c.--Did you get it?"
16549I should like to know what harm my''poeshies''have done?
16549I want, besides, a bull- dog, a terrier, and two Newfoundland dogs; and I want( is it Buck''s?)
16549I was sincerely sorry for it, but in such cases what are words?
16549I wheeled my horse round, and overtaking, stopped the coach, and said,''Signor, have you any commands for me?''
16549If he prefers me to you, is it my fault?
16549Is Frere a good Tuscan?
16549Is it any thing in which his friends can be of use to him?
16549Is it not odd, that the lower order of Venetians should still allude proverbially to that famous contest, so glorious and so fatal to the Republic?
16549Is there no Bedlam in Scotland?
16549It seems his claimants are_ American_ merchants?
16549Last year( in June, 1819), I met at Count Mosti''s, at Ferrara, an Italian who asked me''if I knew Lord Byron?''
16549Montague_,''and by whom?
16549Now, if so, which of the senses is best accordant with the text?

16549Query,--is his title_ Baron_ or not?
16549The poem they review is very noble; but could they not do justice to the writer without converting him into my religious antidote?
16549The review in the magazine you say was written by Wilson?
16549Then they say( instead of our way,''Do you think I would do you so much harm?'')
16549They prate about assassination; what is it but the origin of duelling-- and''_ a wild justice_,''as Lord Bacon calls it?

16549thou art elderly and wise, And couldst say much; thou hast dwelt within the castle-- How many years is''t?
16549to what purpose?
16549what is it, in this world of ours, Which makes it fatal to be loved?
16549what is to become of the reviews; and, if the reviews fail, what is to become of the editors?

14061But what of that? 14061 How could you go on after this,"said I,"my dear?
14061On vous dira: Savait- il etre aimable? 14061 What do you mean?"
14061What''s your name?
14061What''s your name?
14061Who are you, sir?
14061''And did he not?''
14061''And what became of her?''
14061''And, why, then, had she believed him mad?
14061''Has not the nation been brought to a conviction that the system should be broken up?

14061''What attention have you given to this subject?
14061''What do you mean?''
14061''What is she now?
14061''What other cause could have led to this emotion?''
14061''While I am speculating to little purpose, perhaps you are doing-- what?
14061''Who has sought to distinguish between the holy and the unholy in that spirit?
14061''Who that knows Lady Byron will not pronounce her to be everything the reverse?
14061''Why, then, did he wish to marry you?''
14061''Why, then, you will say, does he not employ them to give a better colour to his own character?
14061--''Why, then, throw out his testimony?''
14061Again: is the alleged''hallucination''to be considered as strictly confined to the idea that Lord Byron had committed the frightful sin of incest?
14061And could not all this preserve her grave from insult?
14061And is it thus?
14061And when thou wouldst solace gather, When our child''s first accents flow, Wilt thou teach her to say''Father,''Though his care she must forego?

14061But in regard to Lady Byron, what has been the universal impression of the world?
14061But is it reasonable for me to expect that you or any one else should believe this, unless I show you what were the causes in question?
14061But is not a noble life a greater treasure to mankind than any work of art?
14061But it may be asked, Was there not a man in all England with delicacy enough to feel for Lady Byron, and chivalry enough to speak a bold word for her?
14061But the question met him on all sides, What is the matter?
14061But was he worse, as to such matters, than the enormous majority of those who join in the cry of horror upon this occasion?
14061But who is"called"without being"crucified,"man or woman?
14061Can a great man''s memory be permitted to incur damnation while these saving clauses are afloat anywhere uncontradicted?''
14061Can circumstance make sin Of virtue?
14061Can it be possible that all the friends who passed this private document from hand to hand never suspected that they were being''bammed''by it?
14061Can the matter stop here?
14061Can the''Quarterly''prove that, at this time, Mrs. Leigh had not confessed all, and thrown herself on Lady Byron''s mercy?
14061Can the''Quarterly''show just what Lady Byron''s state of mind was, or what her motives were, in making that visit?
14061Could Miss Milbanke, as a well- bred woman, refuse a courteous answer to such a message?
14061Could it be pride, Or modesty, or absence, or inanity?
14061D''un trait mechant se montra- t- il capable?
14061Did she do it?
14061Did this conversation ever take place?
14061Did we not love each other, and, In multiplying our being, multiply Things which will love each other as we love Them?
14061Did you do this?
14061Did you ever see his letter to me?''
14061Do these words not say that in some past time, in some decided manner, Lord Byron had declared to her his rejection of her as a wife?
14061Do you yoursel''take part with him, or with her?
14061Dost thou not hear, my heart?
14061For years and years, the silence- policy has been tried; and what has it brought forth?
14061HOW COULD SHE LOVE HIM?
14061HOW COULD SHE LOVE HIM?
14061Had not Byron told her all about it?
14061Had she who possessed the truth no responsibility to the world?
14061Had the world no right to true history?
14061Has he ever been accused of want of veracity on other subjects?''
14061Has she not flung suspicion over his bones interred, that they are the bones of a-- monster?
14061Have I not suffered things to be forgiven?
14061Have they not drawn their milk Out of this bosom?
14061Have you ever subjected the facts to the judgment of a medical man learned in nervous pathology?
14061His name has been coupled with the names of three, four, or more women of some rank: but what kind of women?
14061How came her husband, if he knew himself guiltless, to shrink from that public investigation which must have demonstrated his innocence?
14061How did Lady Byron silence accusations?
14061How is it possible a woman of your sense could form the wild hope of reforming me?
14061How many of his so- called packages sent to Lady Byron were real packages, and how many were mystifications?
14061How was I to know that any of them were living?
14061I asked,''Was there a child?''
14061I replied,"You had better ask Dr. King: he knows more about them."--"I?"
14061I said in my turn,''What danger comes from not having it?''
14061I said,''And did he not love you, then?''
14061I say, Christopher, what, after all, is your opinion o''Lord and Leddy Byron''s quarrel?
14061I thought,"What shall I do?"''
14061If Byron wanted a legal investigation, why did he not take it in the first place, instead of signing the separation?
14061If Lord Byron wrote this poem merely in a momentary fit of spleen, why were there so many persons evidently quite familiar with his allusions to it?
14061If the peeress as a wife has no rights, what is the state of the cotter''s wife?
14061If these things be done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
14061Is a kind, a generous action of the man mentioned?
14061Is it true, then, that a woman has not the same right to individual justice that a man has?
14061Is not truth between man and man and between man and woman the foundation on which all things rest?
14061Is that a sin, too?
14061Is the face a striking one?''
14061Is there a noble sentiment, a lofty thought, a sublime conception, in the book?
14061Is this alleged conversation to be viewed as fact, or fiction?
14061Is this language of a kind to be passed over in silence?
14061Is this the language of an innocent man who has been offered a fair trial under his country''s laws?
14061Is this to be considered as an actual occurrence, or as another form of hallucination?
14061Is this, then, what they mean by respecting the dead?
14061Let them please answer these questions: Why had Lady Byron ceased to think him a good brother?
14061Lushington?''
14061Men of America, men of England, what do you think of this?
14061Might it not create documents, invent statements, about his wife as well as himself?
14061Might not a biography from your pen bring forth again some great, half- obscured soul to act on the world?
14061More than thy mother and thy sire?
14061Must not my daughter love her brother Enoch?
14061Now, as I have done you this justice, will you also do me the justice to hear me seriously and candidly?
14061Now, has that magazine much reason to be hurt at even an insinuation on its own character when making such deadly assaults on that of another?
14061Now, what had happened in the five months between the dates of these poems to produce such a change of opinion?
14061On account of personal delicacy?
14061On the day when Lady Byron parted from her husband, did she enter his private room, and find him with the''object of his guilty passion?''
14061Shall they not love, and bring forth things that love Out of their love?
14061She asked quickly,''From whom?''
14061The demoniac cried out,''What have I to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth?
14061The purpose for which this was stated to me was to ask, Was it her duty to make the truth fully known during her lifetime?
14061The question was, Was this falsehood to go on corrupting literature as long as history lasted?
14061The religious crisis is instant; but the man for it?
14061The''Blackwood''asks,"What family friends?''
14061Then what is to become of her older lover?
14061Then why should their influence be diminished?
14061They want his literary polish and tact; but what of that?
14061This certainly seems like an affectionate brother; but in what words does Lady Byron speak of this affection?
14061Though my many faults defaced me, Could no other arm be found Than the one which once embraced me To inflict a careless wound?''
14061Though my many faults defaced me, Could no other arm be found, Than the one which once embraced me, To inflict a cureless wound?
14061To what will they next be attached?
14061Was ever a woman more evidently desirous of the delicate and secluded privileges of womanhood, of the sacredness of individual privacy?
14061Was he dishonest or dishonourable?
14061Was he so, indeed?
14061Was not a final silence a confirmation of a lie with all its consequences?
14061Was not he, their father, Born of the same sole womb, in the same hour With me?
14061Was this''bamming''?
14061Were_ they_ men to go to trial without proofs?
14061What Byron''s reason could have been for thus calumniating not only himself but the blood which was flowing in his veins, who can divine?
14061What danger can come from indulging that hope, like the danger that comes from not having it?''
14061What father has ever reproached him with the ruin of his daughter?
14061What husband has denounced him as the destroyer of his peace?
14061What interest have you or I, my brother and my sister, in this short life of ours, to utter anything but the truth?
14061What is more like the vigour of the old Hebrew Scriptures than his thunderstorm in the Alps?
14061What is the sin which is not Sin in itself?
14061What nobler record for woman could there be than that which Miss Martineau has given?
14061What was Lady Byron to do in such a world?
14061What was the consequence in America?
14061What was the consequence?
14061What, for example, can be nobler, and in a higher and tenderer moral strain than his lines on the dying gladiator, in''Childe Harold''?
14061When she, under advice of her lawyers, made the alternative legal_ separation_ or open investigation in court for divorce, what did he do?
14061When the conversation as to events was over, as I stood musing, I said,''Have you no evidence that he repented?''
14061Where are we to fix the point d''appui of the lunacy?
14061Which has been active, aggressive, unscrupulous?
14061Which of the two has laboured to make a party, and to make that party active, watchful, enthusiastic?
14061Who should know, if not she, to be sure?
14061Who, possessed by such ideas, could lead a life of love and service to God or man?
14061Why broken?
14061Why did he not do it?
14061Why did he not?
14061Why did he so fear her, that not one year of his life passed without his concocting and circulating some public or private accusation against her?
14061Why did you not return to your father''s?"
14061Why must we accept them, any more than his statements as to Murray or his own father?
14061Why not issued as a card in the London papers?
14061Why was this wonderful silence?
14061Why, then, did he hate Sir Samuel Romilly, so that he exulted like a fiend over his tragical death?
14061Why, then, did he hate her for wanting to live peaceably by herself?
14061Why, then, you will say, does he not employ them to give a better colour to his own character?
14061Why?
14061With a God with whom omnipotence and omniscience were all, evil might be eternal; but why do I say to you what has been better said elsewhere?''
14061Would not a wider love supersede the creed- bound charity of sects?
14061Would you wish to proclaim it forthwith?
14061Yet, with his sensibility and the knowledge of his worth, how did he act?
14061You ask,''Why?
14061and did he say, as they parted,''When shall we three meet again?''
14061and do you think that you shall wound it?"
14061and is Lord Palmerston, who has used it so long and so cleverly, likely to promote that object?
14061and was not his family motto Crede Byron?
14061and why not?
14061and why published after his death?
14061and why was it preserved in Murray''s hands?

14061had he ever done anything to forfeit, or even endanger, his rank as a gentleman?
14061how could you love him?''
14061is there then nothing in the world to think of but literary efforts?
14061or of a guilty man, to whom the very idea of public trial means public exposure?
14061or would you wish quietly to separate from your husband, and to cover the crime from the eye of man?''
14061said I,''did that cause then exist?''
14061the light of the first nuptial moon?''
14061what did he say?
14061which has been silent, quiet, unoffending?
14061while I was yet young, and might have reformed what might be wrong in my conduct, and retrieved what was perplexing in my affairs?
14061why should we undo it?
14061{ 205a} With a person of such mental and moral habits as to truth, the inquiry always must be, Where does mystification end, and truth begin?
44791And had he no moments of remorse?
44791How could you go on after this,said I,"my dear?
44791On vous dira: Savait- il être aimable? 44791 What do you mean?"
44791What''s your name?
44791What''s your name?
44791Who are_ you_, sir?
44791''And did he not?''
44791''And what became of her?''
44791''And, why, then, had she believed him mad?
44791''Has not the nation been brought to a conviction that the_ system_ should be broken up?
44791''MY DEAREST AUGUSTA,--Shall I still be your sister?
44791''Those who are acquainted( as who is not?)
44791''Was she, then, distinguished for genius or talent of any kind?''
44791''What attention have you given to this subject?
44791''What do you mean?''
44791''What is she now?
44791''What other cause could have led to this emotion?''
44791''While I am speculating to little purpose, perhaps you are_ doing_--what?
44791''Who has sought to distinguish between the holy and the unholy in that spirit?
44791''Who that knows Lady Byron will not pronounce her to be everything the reverse?
44791''Why, then, did he wish to marry you?''
44791''Why, then, you will say, does he not employ them to give a better colour to his own character?
44791''_ Is_ it not insanity?
44791--''Why, then, throw out his testimony?''
44791Again: is the alleged''hallucination''to be considered as strictly confined to the idea that Lord Byron had committed the frightful sin of incest?
44791And could not all this preserve her grave from insult?
44791And is it thus?
44791And when thou wouldst solace gather, When our child''s first accents flow, Wilt thou teach her to say''Father,''Though his care she must forego?
44791And why was nothing done?
44791And, first, why have I made this disclosure at all?
44791Art thou come to torment me before the time?''
44791But in regard to Lady Byron, what has been the universal impression of the world?
44791But is it reasonable for me to expect that you or any one else should believe this, unless I show you what were the causes in question?
44791But is not a noble life a greater treasure to mankind than any work of art?
44791But it may be asked, Was there not a man in all England with delicacy enough to feel for Lady Byron, and chivalry enough to speak a bold word for her?
44791But the question met him on all sides, What is the matter?

25977But is not the writer content with what has been already said and done? 25977 But what will you have me do?"

25977And how does it, in reality, enter there?
25977And was Christ crucified that black men might be scourged?
25977And what thought Byron of the existence of God?
25977And what was this gift?
25977And why, then, had she believed him mad?
25977And yet has Moore spoken of it?
25977And yet what was his conduct?
25977And yet, in the very paroxysm of such irritation, was a personal sentiment his first incentive?
25977And, after all, is not the authority of the Church the better of the two?
25977And, elsewhere:--"Shall I go to Lansdowne''s?
25977And, taking earth and heaven to witness, he exclaimed:--"Have I not had to wrestle with my lot?
25977Are not a thousand words wanted to restore a reputation which a light word or, may be, slight malice has tarnished?
25977Are not all the mysteries common to both creeds?
25977Are not his discussions and monologues too long?
25977Are not such books rather dangerous than otherwise for some minds?
25977Are not the unities and the proportions disregarded in his plays?
25977Are not, perhaps, his characters too real?
25977Are such dictates to be considered as their own views?"
25977Are such metamorphoses possible to withered souls?
25977Are these virtues such that, like excellent and salutary substances, they become poisoned when placed in contact within the same crucible?
25977As for authority, if the Catholic obeys the Church and considers it infallible, does not the Protestant do the same with the Bible?
25977As for miracles, how could he think them absurd and impossible, since he admitted the omnipotence of God?
25977As regards complaints and avowals humiliating for our nature, could there be any more eloquent than those of St. Augustine?
25977As the doctor became more urgent, Byron said----"How will you have me begin?"
25977At all times the world has been very unjust; and( who does not know it?)
25977At least it is a quality pertaining to noble minds; and could it, then, be wanting in Lord Byron?
25977Besides, is courage a virtue?
25977But can the same be said of other countries, and of France especially?
25977But could it have existed without being perceived by those who lived with him?
25977But did Mr. Galt, Mr. Adair, and Mr. Bruce, really witness the return of these impressions?
25977But did it really exist?
25977But even were He proclaimed such, what would be the result of this philosophical condescension, unless it be that God is distinct from the world?
25977But have these observers examined well on which side lay the cause of unhappiness?
25977But how do you explain the anger expressed by his pen?
25977But if Lord Byron was constant to a certain order of ideas, was he equally constant in his affections?
25977But if an imaginary fear, and even an unreasonable jealousy may be her excuse( just as one excuses a monomania), can one equally forgive her silence?
25977But if he were treated with the same injustice by foreigners, could the same excuse be made for them?
25977But if his generosity had ended in only satisfying the fine tendencies of his nature, would it have acquired the right to be called virtuous?
25977But if we can justify the accusation of his having been imprudent, can we justify his having been calumniated?
25977But in shortening the road would the author attain the desired end?
25977But on what grounds is it founded?
25977But ought he to grant it?
25977But some will object,"Are you going to judge of his views from his poetry?
25977But then it will be said, why did he marry her?
25977But then of what necessity would the soul be, if the body can think?
25977But to whom were these lines addressed?
25977But was her mind equally cured?
25977But was not the drama entitled a Mystery, and was not the title to be justified, as it were?
25977But what is a misanthrope?
25977But what is it to us what Jupiter does up there?
25977But what was it she would have fled from?
25977But when he arrived at it,--when he became transformed, so to say, into an idol,--did this necessity for solitude abandon him?
25977But where had they found, and from whose hands did they receive this ready- made poet, whose features they reproduced and offered to the world?
25977But who should be the object of his choice?
25977But with all his great and noble qualities was it to be expected that Lord Byron would fall into the doctrines proffered by pantheists?
25977But would his heart be equally strong-- would it not yield on seeing her unhappy?
25977But would it be equally just to attribute this taste to melancholy, and then to call his melancholy_ misanthropy_?
25977But would it have been developed without the aid of other causes?
25977But, could he truly find faith in their pages?
25977But, if he left, what would become of Greece?
25977But, it may be said, Why speak of his courage?
25977But, on the other hand, would it not have been very natural for him, having heard them, to feel a little rancor against her?
25977But, throughout this analysis by Moore, do we see aught save an intellectual quality?
25977By his words, his actions, and the testimony of all those who approached him, was not Lord Byron the reverse of all this?
25977By what was he most impressed on reaching Venice?
25977Campbell, give thy talents scope: Who dare aspire, if thou must cease to hope?"
25977Can a genius be a stranger to man, and does not the earth seem too small to contain such exceptional beings?
25977Can a single one be found in Byron''s character?
25977Can guilt like man''s be e''er forgiven?
25977Can his portrait be found in the descriptions given by his biographers?
25977Can it be alleged, by way of excuse, that he gave extracts from it?
25977Can it be objected, that the fact of the defense of a foreigner detracts from the interest of the reader?
25977Can it be said that we have not sufficiently condemned?
25977Can one attach much importance to opinions expressed in verse?
25977Can one doubt, that at that solemn moment his greatest desire was to be allowed to live?
25977Can one see him without being moved?
25977Can the conviction of the existence of immortality, unless founded upon revelation, be any thing else but a hope or a sentiment?
25977Can vice atone for crimes by prayer?
25977Che giova a me l''aver si cara Amante?
25977Could Goethe see with pleasure another star rise in the horizon, when his own was at its zenith?
25977Could he have done otherwise, even if he had wished it ever so much?
25977Could he not desire the meeting?
25977Could he possibly admit that the doctrine which prescribed these sacrifices was better than any other?
25977Could it be otherwise with an organization like his?
25977Could it be otherwise?
25977Could it be otherwise?
25977Could it be the Greek vessel sent to meet him?
25977Could love exist between two natures so widely dissonant?
25977Could peace, however, have dwelt within his soul?
25977Could that vigor and freshness of mind which breathe upon the lips of the poet, and which well belonged to him, suit the corrupted nature of Harold?
25977Could the intellect that caused him to appreciate others so well fail to make him feel his own great superiority?
25977Could we forget the tone of his voice, or his gesture, adding charm to all he said?
25977Could, then, such a heart as Lord Byron''s be ungrateful, and not love such a mother?
25977Deceit is a stranger as yet to my soul: I still am unpracticed to varnish the truth: Then why should I live in a hateful control?
25977Did Lord Byron possess the whole of these, or only a part?
25977Did Lord Byron possess this power?
25977Did Lord Byron really question, in his poems, the infinite goodness of God, as he has been accused of doing?
25977Did Lord Byron''s generosity reach this great moral height?
25977Did Lord Byron''s generosity really attain such a high degree?
25977Did envy or rivalry ever enter into his soul?
25977Did he avoid her so much as the stanzas addressed to the lovely Florence, in the first canto of"Childe Harold,"would fain imply?
25977Did he draw from the world''s votaries his rules of judgment, his ways of thought?
25977Did he exercise that influence, and if he did not, for what reason?
25977Did he not believe in the necessity of religion?
25977Did he not burn the whole edition, because a friend whom he respected, disapproved some parts?
25977Did he not clearly confess it himself?
25977Did he not feel that a faultless coat of mail, like hers, might so have pressed upon her heart that no pulse would be left giving earnest of life?
25977Did he not think, some years before his death, that his popularity was wavering, and that his rivals would profit by it?
25977Did he yield when brought in contact with that terrible_ English law of opinion_?
25977Did his intellectual activity slacken?
25977Did his true affections, or even his simple tastes, suffer from the varied impresses of his versatile genius?
25977Did not Pascal almost wish man to understand that_ he is an incomprehensible monster_?
25977Did not his genius suffer then from the new infatuation?
25977Did she ever contemplate the possibility of becoming his wife?
25977Did she forget that she was responsible before God and before that country whose pride he was about to become?
25977Did we not see him, even in earliest youth, burn writings, or abstain from writing, through excess of delicacy and fear of wounding his neighbors?
25977Did you never hear me say,''that when there was a right or a wrong, she had the right?''
25977Dismiss thy guard, and trust thee to such traits, For who would lift a hand except to bless?
25977Do I err In deeming such inhabit many a spot?
25977Do n''t you find that my arguments are more like your own than you would have thought?"
25977Do not poets often say that which they do not think, but which genius inspires them to write?
25977Do they fear being told they have made a panegyric, passing for flatterers, appearing to get through a task?
25977Do you forget his misanthropical invectives, his personal attacks, his''Avatar,''his epigrams?"
25977Do you remember his beautiful lines in the"Due Foscari?"
25977Does he mean that his mother did not justly appreciate the peculiarities of her child''s character, or promote the fine dispositions of his nature?
25977Does he not also found his belief upon the Bible?
25977Does it not stand out in relief, a pure, high attribute of genius?
25977Does not genius require genius to be its interpreter?
25977Does not his own exuberant genius become a fatigue to himself and to his readers?
25977Enough.--The faithful and the fairy pair, Who never found a single hour too slow, What was it made them thus exempt from care?
25977Ere this God has judged her above; but, here below, can those possessing hearts have any indulgence for her?
25977Even with the best intentions, could any of the essential, moral, and holy principles of nature be introduced into such a system?
25977Far from having been too proud and reserved in his habits of life, have we not seen him reproached with being too familiar?
25977For what reason?
25977Forced to remain on shore and wait, what sort of humor did he display under these annoyances?
25977From ancient lineage, not unworthy sprung: What though one sad dissension bade us part?
25977Gratitude, that proves such an insupportable load to the proud man, did it not rather seem a happiness to him?
25977Had he been unhappy there, would he have transmitted to us in such happy lines his remembrance of the time which he spent in the North?
25977Had he no fear of such perfection?
25977Had he no warning, no inspiration from his good genius during all that time?
25977Had he not given irrefragable proof of the truth of these memoirs, by sending them to be read and_ commented on_ by Lady Byron?
25977Has he, on this account, disregarded the great merits of that glorious mind?
25977Has it ever gone so far as to make sacrifices for his sake, and has not Lord Byron ever given more as a friend than he ever received in return?
25977Has not the general voice of his countrymen long ago pronounced upon the subject sentence without trial, and condemnation without a charge?
25977Have I not been exiled by ostracism, except that the shells which proscribed me were anonymous?
25977Have I not had my brain sear''d, my heart riven, Hopes sapp''d, name blighted, Life''s life lied away?
25977Have I not had my brain sear''d, my heart riven, Hopes sapp''d, name blighted, Life''s life lied away?"
25977Have I not suffered things to be forgiven?
25977Have I not suffered things to be forgiven?
25977He often asked himself, whether the first man could ever have been created a child?
25977He was at this time contemplating a voyage:--"Ward talks of going to Holland, and we have partly discussed an expedition together.... And why not?...
25977He was beloved by many, notwithstanding a host of jealous rivals; and yet, on the point of losing all these advantages, what was his prayer?
25977He will not go into the world:--"I do n''t believe this worldly life does any good; how could such a world ever be made?
25977He writes to Rogers, 27th June, 1814:--"Are there any chances or possibility of ending this, and making our peace with Carlisle?
25977Hear''st thou the accents of despair?
25977Her golden mountains where?
25977Here are some of his answers:--"What is poetry?"
25977How choose without regretting what has been discarded?
25977How dared this lady to marry a man so distinguished, and then to treat him ill and tyrannically?
25977How has this occurred?
25977How hope for immortality, if that which thinks is subject to dissolution and to death?
25977How then shall we reconcile these opposite testimonies?
25977I am sorry for it; what can_ he_ fear from criticism?"
25977I do n''t wish to claim the character of''Vates''the prophet, but were they not a little prophetic?
25977I wonder if I am really or not?
25977If Byron did not question the existence of God, did he doubt the spirituality and immortality of the soul?
25977If Byron was jealous of the living, of whom could he have been so?
25977If Childe Harold personifies Lord Byron, who will personify the poet?
25977If Lord Byron had defects( and who has not?)
25977If asked why, then, I sat for my own?
25977If he had complained a little of his hard fate, could one be much astonished?
25977If he had had a bad disposition, been capricious, irritable, or given to anger, would this have been the case?
25977If it is easy not to give way to our passions at seventy, is it equally so at twenty or at thirty?
25977If much has been said of Lord Byron, has his truly noble character been fairly brought to light?
25977If only the faults, why not also the crimes?
25977If she aspired to the reputation of a virtuous woman, could true virtue have done otherwise?
25977If, as Moore observes, it be true that Byron never lost a friend, was their friendship a like friendship with his own?
25977In a God, Creator of all things?
25977In ability who was like Matthews?
25977In about an hour or two, this goes off, and I compose myself either to sleep again, or at least, to quiet.... What is it?--liver?...
25977In his drama of"Cain,"where Lucifer is conducting Cain through space and worlds,"Where is earth?"
25977In one, and one alone deceived, Did I my error mourn?
25977In our liberty of action, and our moral responsibility?
25977In short, was Lord Byron inconstant?
25977In short, why should he have shown consideration for persons whose merit consists in never_ allowing themselves to be seen as they are_?
25977In the absolute solitude of a town like Ravenna, imprisoned, so to say, within his own apartment, how could he avoid some emotions of sadness?
25977In the spirituality, and therefore immortality, of the soul?
25977In_ saying_ that the soul might_ not be immortal_, is it not saying much the same as was said by Locke in the words_ the soul is perhaps spiritual_?
25977Instead of that, what did he find?
25977Is a day said to be stormy because a few clouds have obscured the rays of the sun?
25977Is it because you are afraid to print any thing in opposition to the ca nt of the''Quarterly''about Manicheism?
25977Is it merely that we may exercise the mind, and make truth the toy of our imagination?
25977Is it necessary to say any thing about what he doubted?
25977Is it not in Scotland that his heart was nursed with every affection, that his mind drank in the essence of poetry?
25977Is it truth, piety, generosity, firmness, abnegation, devotedness, independence, patriotism, humanity, heroism?
25977Is it, then, surprising that he, like his hero,"Childe Harold,"should see with indifference the shores of his native land recede?
25977Is not that perishable which is capable of dissolution according to the laws of the world?
25977Is not their reputation a part of the inherited treasure?
25977Is the writer ignorant of the public opinion and the public conduct upon that occasion?
25977Is there any in Milton?
25977Is truth which can be so easily changed equally easy to re- establish?
25977It is true that I am young to begin again, but with whom can I retrace the laughing part of life?"
25977It was on that occasion that Hobhouse said to Lady Jersey,"Who would not consent to be attacked in this way, to boast such a defense?"
25977Lord Byron turned to the doctor, and said:--"Have you heard what S---- said?
25977Men do not labor over the ignoble and petty dead-- and why should not the dead be Homer''s dead?
25977Moore had already felt some vague disquietude, and he asked why he allowed his mind to dwell on such sorrowful ideas?
25977Moore would seem to say that Byron''s childhood was badly directed; but how so?
25977Must not even his peace of conscience have counterbalanced bitter remembrances?
25977N----, the author of Bertram''s dramas, whom Walter Scott had recommended to him?
25977Nevertheless, the paths that lead to glory are various, and trod by many; which should he choose?
25977No one respected more than he did all that was really holy, virtuous, and respectable; but who could blame him for wishing to denounce hypocrisy?
25977Now, is not pale and silent anger of the kind that is overcome?
25977Now, let it be said in all sincerity, what analogy can there be between the proud man and Lord Byron?
25977Now, what says the moralist of the proud man?
25977Of what use are dandies, for instance, and kings, and fellows at college, and women of a certain age, and many men of my age, myself foremost?"
25977On a calm and dark night he goes to her tomb and strews it with flowers; then, speaking of her virtues, exclaims:--"But wherefore weep?
25977Or all the labors of a grateful lay?
25977Or can think that some of the best men that ever lived have been fools?"
25977Or did she chain it down to the fulfillment of some austere duty, that stood her in lieu of happiness?
25977Or fill at once the realms of space, A thing of eyes, that all survey?
25977Or how, turning them inward, can we doubt that there is something within us more noble and more durable than the clay of which we are formed?
25977Ought not these examples at least to destroy the absolute nature of the theory, making it at best conditional?
25977Persecuted as he was, could Byron be expected to remain unmoved?
25977Praise him I think you must; but will you also praise him well,--of all things the most difficult?
25977Proof against all meannesses, but young and most unhappy, was she always able to resist the promptings of a warm, feeling, grateful heart?
25977Redeeming worlds to be by bigots shaken, How was thy toil rewarded?"
25977Say, can ambition''s fever''d dream bestow So sweet a balm to soothe your hours of woe?
25977Seriously; was he bound to any great tenderness toward such friendship as that?
25977Shall each pretend to reach the skies, Yet doom his brother to expire, Whose soul a different hope supplies, Or doctrines less severe inspire?
25977Shall it be said that his language was occasionally too violent; that the punishment went beyond the crime?
25977Shall it be said that oftentimes one has wished to prove what had already been conceded by every body?
25977Shall it be said that the moral sense of these invectives was not always brought forward with all the clearness desirable?
25977Shall man condemn his race to hell, Unless they bend in pompous form?
25977Shall man confine his Maker''s sway To Gothic domes of mouldering stone?
25977Shall reptiles, grovelling on the ground, Their great Creator''s purpose know?
25977Shall these, by creeds they ca n''t expound, Prepare a fancied bliss or woe?
25977Shall those who live for self alone, Whose years float on in daily crime-- Shall they by faith for guilt atone, And live beyond the bounds of Time?
25977She invented a tale, but what does she say when the truth escapes her?
25977She was my life''s unerring light: That quench''d, what beam shall break my night?"
25977Should not authors sacrifice themselves to their subject in all works inspired by a devoted spirit?
25977Some weeks after, he wrote to Dallas:--"At three- and- twenty I am left alone, and what more can we be at seventy?
25977Still so young, handsome, rich, and almost adored, for whom could life have more value?
25977Tell them to look at the pictures of him which were painted by Saunders, by Phillips, by Holmes, or by Westall?
25977Tell us that all, for one who fell, Must perish in the mingling storm?
25977That Lord Byron loved solitude, and that it was a want of his nature who can doubt?
25977The lies of Dr. Moore about the"Doge Faliero"almost made him angry:--"Where did Dr. Moore find that Marino Faliero begged his life?
25977The only light that had brightened her path had gone out, and, plunged in darkness, how did she pursue her course through life?
25977Then, unembodied, doth it trace By steps each planet''s heavenly way?
25977These quotations perhaps will be found too many, but are they not necessary?
25977Thine image, what new friendship can efface?
25977Things must have had a beginning, and what matters it when or how?"
25977Though none, like thee, his dying hour will cheer, Yet other offspring soothe his anguish here: But who with me shall hold thy former place?
25977Through what strange agony did he pass?
25977Thus he knew him well, and if Lord Byron''s temper had been unamiable, would he have undertaken such a long journey with him?
25977Thus high and graceful was her gait; Her heart as tender to her mate; Her mate-- stern Hassan, who was he?
25977Time and space, who can conceive?
25977To Murray he wrote the same day:--"Is it true what Shelley writes me, that poor John Keats died at Rome of the''Quarterly Review?''
25977To me what is wealth?--it may pass in an hour, If tyrant''s prevail, or if Fortune should frown: To me what is title?
25977To show it outwardly must he not have struggled?
25977To what, then, did they apply?
25977To whom did He promise that He would never change it, either wholly or in part?
25977To- morrow, there is Lady Heathcote''s-- shall I go?
25977Under such a persuasion, would not some few harsh words have been most natural?
25977Was Lord Byron ambitious?
25977Was Lord Byron irritable?
25977Was Lord Byron proud as a poet and as a man?
25977Was he constant in his ideas?
25977Was he less pleased at the success of his friends?
25977Was her heart henceforth closed to every affection?
25977Was his soul less energetic, less sublime?
25977Was it Lord Byron who would have been incapable of forgiving?
25977Was it egotistical or presumptuous?
25977Was it he who would have refused the counsels of friendship?
25977Was it hypochondriasis, as he imagined?
25977Was it natural that in order to justify certain coquetries to her affianced, she should make use of insulting expressions with regard to young Byron?
25977Was it the deep mysterious ailment of Hamlet, at once both meek and full of logic?
25977Was it the enemy, then?
25977Was it true that Lord Byron felt this imperfection so keenly?
25977Was it vengeance?
25977Was it visible?
25977Was not Byron, therefore, right when he said, with Pope, that Shakspeare was"the worst of models?"
25977Was not Lord Byron surrounded with the tenderest cares while in Scotland?
25977Was not one hour passed with him then a payment with rich usury for all the little concessions his genius required?
25977Was that an error?--an illusion?
25977Washington Irving appears to think the contrary:--"Was this love returned?"
25977Were his principles in politics, in religion, in all that constitutes the man of honor in the highest acceptation of the term, at all affected by it?
25977Were it not easy, sir, and is''t not sweet To make thyself beloved?
25977Were some of his biographers right in asserting that he had adopted Cuvier''s system?
25977Were there not moments in which she did not look upon him only as a brother, or a child?
25977Were this accusation ever to prove correct, to what does it amount, except to say that he has a liver complaint?
25977Were we wrong in saying that the accusations against Byron, with respect to Keats, did not deserve a notice?
25977What are the virtues so insulted?
25977What can I say, or think, or do?
25977What can I say, or think, or do?
25977What can be said to those who never saw him?
25977What caused this change?
25977What could he do more?
25977What did his thorough good sense tell him about religion in general?
25977What does M. Taine say then?
25977What does that prove, if not that they either would not or could not marry, but certainly not that they were incapable of being good husbands?
25977What else are we seeking for?"
25977What hadst thou done, to sink so peacefully to rest?
25977What has happened?
25977What is he craving for?
25977What is his occupation?
25977What is it to him, that England thinks differently?
25977What is the cause?
25977What is there in the world worth a true affection?
25977What name shall we give to this physiological phenomenon?
25977What necessity is there at times to put one piece into another?
25977What other statesman did Lord Byron attack except Castlereagh?
25977What poet has paid so noble a tribute to every virtue?
25977What poet of energy has ever painted woman more chaste, more gentle and sweet, than Lord Byron?
25977What should I have done there?
25977What sister''s gentle kiss has prest my cheek?
25977What was her love for him?
25977What was his occupation?
25977What was the result?
25977What was this defect, since all becomes illustrious in an illustrious man?
25977What were his thoughts?
25977What, then, must have been the vividness with which they acted on an imagination like Lord Byron''s?
25977When they criticised without good faith and without measure his beautiful dramas, saying they were not adapted for the stage, what did he reply?
25977Whence arose his melancholy?
25977Whence did this arise?
25977Where did your lordship find the book?"
25977Where does M. de Lamartine find the truth which he proposes to tell the world about Byron?
25977Where her glittering towers?
25977Where is the old Harold?
25977Which of the two is likely to be right?
