16570 | Will you forward the letter to Mr. Gilford with the proof? 16570 Will you present my best respects to Lady Holland? |
16570 | Would it not have been as well to have said''in two Cantos''in the advertisement? 16570 You will write to me? |

16570 | Are you doing nothing? |
16570 | At five- and- twenty, when the better part of life is over, one should be_ something_;--and what am I? |
16570 | At three- and- twenty I am left alone, and what more can we be at seventy? |
16570 | Besides, how was I to find out a man of many residences? |
16570 | But is there not room enough in our respective regions? |

16570 | I speak from report,--for what is cookery to a leguminous- eating ascetic? |
16570 | I stared, and said,''Certainly, but why?'' |
16570 | I suppose you would not like to be wholly shut out of society? |
16570 | I wonder how Buonaparte''s dinner agrees with him? |
16570 | If play be allowed, the President of the Institution can hardly complain of being termed the''Arbiter of Play,''--or what becomes of his authority? |

16570 | Is there not blood enough upon your penal code, that more must be poured forth to ascend to heaven and testify against you? |
16570 | It has insured the theatre, and why not the Address?" |
16570 | It is true I am young enough to begin again, but with whom can I retrace the laughing part of life? |
16570 | No one else, except Augusta, cares for me; no ties-- no trammels--_andiamo dunque-- se torniamo, bene-- se non, ch''importa_? |
16570 | Now, might not some of this''sutor ultra crepidam''s''friends and seducers have done a decent action without inveigling Pratt into biography? |
16570 | Now, where lay the difference between_ her_ and_ mamma_, and Lady** and daughter? |
16570 | Or low Dubost( as once the world has seen) Degrade God''s creatures in his graphic spleen? |

16570 | So, if I have,--why the devil do n''t you say it at once, and expectorate your spleen? |
16570 | Surely the field of thought is infinite; what does it signify who is before or behind in a race where there is no_ goal_? |
16570 | Talking of vanity, whose praise do I prefer? |
16570 | The four first lines of the Doctor''s Address are as follows:--"When energising objects men pursue, What are the prodigies they can not do? |

16549 | I ca n''t conceive in what, and for what, he abuses you: what have you done? |
16549 | I 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?'' |

16549 | Is Frere a good Tuscan? |
16549 | Is it any thing in which his friends can be of use to him? |
16549 | Is 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? |

16549 | Then they say( instead of our way,''Do you think I would do you so much harm?'') |

16549 | _ how do you pass your evenings?_''It is a devil of a question that, and perhaps as easy to answer with a wife as with a mistress. |
16549 | acted to the thinnest houses? |
16549 | and how came she to take an interest in my_ poeshie_ or its author? |
16549 | and is his memory to be blasted, and theirs respected? |
16549 | and perhaps a date? |
16549 | and to be Omnipotent by Mercy''s means? |
16549 | and what do you call his other? |
16549 | and what is become of Campbell and all t''other fellows of the Druid order? |
16549 | and what is she? |
16549 | are there_ two_? |
16549 | are you_ so_ moral? |
16549 | but why do I ask? |

16549 | eh?--And pray, of the booksellers, which be_ you_? |
16549 | esto non é tempo per andar''a Lido?''" |
16549 | he cried, archly,"you have been beforehand with me there, have you?" |
16549 | how came he to fix there? |
16549 | is it any one''s except_ Pope''s_ and_ Goldsmith''s_, of which_ all_ is good? |
16549 | is it the_ Æneid_? |
16549 | is it_ Dryden''s_? |
16549 | is it_ Milton''s_? |
16549 | no prose, no verse, no_ nothing_?" |
16549 | nor gag? |
16549 | nor hand- cuff? |
16549 | nor thumb- screw? |
16549 | not a line? |
16549 | or Alexander the Great, when he ran stark round the tomb of t''other fellow? |
16549 | or does this silence mean that it is well enough as it is, or too bad to be repaired? |
16549 | or that in fact I was not, and am not, convinced and convicted in my conscience of this same overt act of nonsense? |
16549 | or the Spartan who was fined by the Ephori for fighting without his armour? |
16549 | or who? |
16549 | the Olympic wrestlers? |
16549 | the Pulci translation and original, the_ Danticles_, the Observations on,& c.? |
16549 | the dry, the dirty, the honest, the opulent, the finical, the splendid, or the coxcomb bookseller? |
16549 | thou art elderly and wise, And couldst say much; thou hast dwelt within the castle-- How many years is''t? |
16549 | to what purpose? |
16549 | what is it, in this world of ours, Which makes it fatal to be loved? |
16549 | what is to become of the reviews; and, if the reviews fail, what is to become of the editors? |
16549 | what say you to the sample? |
16549 | what sound, What dreadful sound is that? |
16549 | why With cypress branches hast thou wreath''d thy bowers, And made thy best interpreter a sigh? |
16549 | why do n''t you tell me where you are, what you are, and how you are? |
16549 | why let him have the honours of a martyr? |
14061 | And had he no moments of remorse? |
14061 | But what of that? 14061 How could you go on after this,"said I,"my dear? |
14061 | On vous dira: Savait- il etre aimable? 14061 What do you mean?" |
14061 | What''s your name? |
14061 | What''s your name? |
14061 | Who 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 | ''Is it not insanity? |
14061 | ''MY DEAREST AUGUSTA,--Shall I still be your sister? |
14061 | ''Those who are acquainted( and who is not?) |
14061 | ''Was she, then, distinguished for genius or talent of any kind?'' |
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?'' |
14061 | Again: is the alleged''hallucination''to be considered as strictly confined to the idea that Lord Byron had committed the frightful sin of incest? |
14061 | And could not all this preserve her grave from insult? |
14061 | And is it thus? |
14061 | And 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? |
14061 | And why was nothing done? |
14061 | And, first, why have I made this disclosure at all? |
14061 | Art thou come to torment me before the time?'' |
14061 | But in regard to Lady Byron, what has been the universal impression of the world? |
14061 | But 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? |
14061 | But is not a noble life a greater treasure to mankind than any work of art? |
14061 | But 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? |
14061 | But the question met him on all sides, What is the matter? |
14061 | But was he worse, as to such matters, than the enormous majority of those who join in the cry of horror upon this occasion? |
14061 | But who is"called"without being"crucified,"man or woman? |
14061 | Can a great man''s memory be permitted to incur damnation while these saving clauses are afloat anywhere uncontradicted?'' |
14061 | Can circumstance make sin Of virtue? |
14061 | Can 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? |
14061 | Can the matter stop here? |
14061 | Can the''Quarterly''prove that, at this time, Mrs. Leigh had not confessed all, and thrown herself on Lady Byron''s mercy? |
14061 | Can the''Quarterly''show just what Lady Byron''s state of mind was, or what her motives were, in making that visit? |
14061 | Could Miss Milbanke, as a well- bred woman, refuse a courteous answer to such a message? |
14061 | Could it be pride, Or modesty, or absence, or inanity? |
14061 | D''un trait mechant se montra- t- il capable? |
14061 | Did she do it? |
14061 | Did this conversation ever take place? |
14061 | Did we not love each other, and, In multiplying our being, multiply Things which will love each other as we love Them? |
14061 | Did you do this? |
14061 | Did you ever see his letter to me?'' |
14061 | Do 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? |
14061 | Do you yoursel''take part with him, or with her? |
14061 | Dost thou not hear, my heart? |
14061 | For years and years, the silence- policy has been tried; and what has it brought forth? |
14061 | HOW COULD SHE LOVE HIM? |
14061 | HOW COULD SHE LOVE HIM? |
14061 | Had not Byron told her all about it? |
14061 | Had she who possessed the truth no responsibility to the world? |
14061 | Had the world no right to true history? |
14061 | Has he ever been accused of want of veracity on other subjects?'' |
14061 | Has she not flung suspicion over his bones interred, that they are the bones of a-- monster? |
14061 | Have I not suffered things to be forgiven? |
14061 | Have they not drawn their milk Out of this bosom? |
14061 | Have you ever subjected the facts to the judgment of a medical man learned in nervous pathology? |
14061 | His name has been coupled with the names of three, four, or more women of some rank: but what kind of women? |
14061 | How came her husband, if he knew himself guiltless, to shrink from that public investigation which must have demonstrated his innocence? |
14061 | How did Lady Byron silence accusations? |
14061 | How is it possible a woman of your sense could form the wild hope of reforming me? |
14061 | How many of his so- called packages sent to Lady Byron were real packages, and how many were mystifications? |
14061 | How was I to know that any of them were living? |
14061 | I asked,''Was there a child?'' |
14061 | I replied,"You had better ask Dr. King: he knows more about them."--"I?" |
14061 | I said in my turn,''What danger comes from not having it?'' |
14061 | I said,''And did he not love you, then?'' |
14061 | I say, Christopher, what, after all, is your opinion o''Lord and Leddy Byron''s quarrel? |
14061 | I thought,"What shall I do?"'' |
14061 | If Byron wanted a legal investigation, why did he not take it in the first place, instead of signing the separation? |
14061 | If 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? |
14061 | If the peeress as a wife has no rights, what is the state of the cotter''s wife? |
14061 | If these things be done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
14061 | Is a kind, a generous action of the man mentioned? |
14061 | Is it true, then, that a woman has not the same right to individual justice that a man has? |
14061 | Is not truth between man and man and between man and woman the foundation on which all things rest? |
14061 | Is that a sin, too? |
14061 | Is the face a striking one?'' |
14061 | Is there a noble sentiment, a lofty thought, a sublime conception, in the book? |
14061 | Is this alleged conversation to be viewed as fact, or fiction? |
14061 | Is this language of a kind to be passed over in silence? |
14061 | Is this the language of an innocent man who has been offered a fair trial under his country''s laws? |
14061 | Is this to be considered as an actual occurrence, or as another form of hallucination? |
14061 | Is this, then, what they mean by respecting the dead? |
14061 | Let them please answer these questions: Why had Lady Byron ceased to think him a good brother? |
14061 | Lushington?'' |
14061 | Men of America, men of England, what do you think of this? |
14061 | Might it not create documents, invent statements, about his wife as well as himself? |
14061 | Might not a biography from your pen bring forth again some great, half- obscured soul to act on the world? |
14061 | More than thy mother and thy sire? |
14061 | Must not my daughter love her brother Enoch? |
14061 | Now, as I have done you this justice, will you also do me the justice to hear me seriously and candidly? |
14061 | Now, 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? |
14061 | Now, what had happened in the five months between the dates of these poems to produce such a change of opinion? |
14061 | On account of personal delicacy? |
14061 | On 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?'' |
14061 | Shall they not love, and bring forth things that love Out of their love? |
14061 | She asked quickly,''From whom?'' |
14061 | The demoniac cried out,''What have I to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? |
14061 | The purpose for which this was stated to me was to ask, Was it her duty to make the truth fully known during her lifetime? |
14061 | The question was, Was this falsehood to go on corrupting literature as long as history lasted? |
14061 | The religious crisis is instant; but the man for it? |
14061 | The''Blackwood''asks,"What family friends?'' |
14061 | Then what is to become of her older lover? |
14061 | Then why should their influence be diminished? |
14061 | They want his literary polish and tact; but what of that? |
14061 | This certainly seems like an affectionate brother; but in what words does Lady Byron speak of this affection? |
14061 | Though my many faults defaced me, Could no other arm be found Than the one which once embraced me To inflict a careless wound?'' |
14061 | Though my many faults defaced me, Could no other arm be found, Than the one which once embraced me, To inflict a cureless wound? |
14061 | To what will they next be attached? |
14061 | Was ever a woman more evidently desirous of the delicate and secluded privileges of womanhood, of the sacredness of individual privacy? |
14061 | Was he dishonest or dishonourable? |
14061 | Was he so, indeed? |
14061 | Was not a final silence a confirmation of a lie with all its consequences? |
14061 | Was not he, their father, Born of the same sole womb, in the same hour With me? |
14061 | Was this''bamming''? |
14061 | Were_ they_ men to go to trial without proofs? |
14061 | What Byron''s reason could have been for thus calumniating not only himself but the blood which was flowing in his veins, who can divine? |
14061 | What danger can come from indulging that hope, like the danger that comes from not having it?'' |
14061 | What father has ever reproached him with the ruin of his daughter? |
14061 | What husband has denounced him as the destroyer of his peace? |
14061 | What interest have you or I, my brother and my sister, in this short life of ours, to utter anything but the truth? |
14061 | What is more like the vigour of the old Hebrew Scriptures than his thunderstorm in the Alps? |
14061 | What is the sin which is not Sin in itself? |
14061 | What nobler record for woman could there be than that which Miss Martineau has given? |
14061 | What was Lady Byron to do in such a world? |
14061 | What was the consequence in America? |
14061 | What was the consequence? |
14061 | What, for example, can be nobler, and in a higher and tenderer moral strain than his lines on the dying gladiator, in''Childe Harold''? |
14061 | When she, under advice of her lawyers, made the alternative legal_ separation_ or open investigation in court for divorce, what did he do? |
14061 | When the conversation as to events was over, as I stood musing, I said,''Have you no evidence that he repented?'' |
14061 | Where are we to fix the point d''appui of the lunacy? |
14061 | Which has been active, aggressive, unscrupulous? |
14061 | Which of the two has laboured to make a party, and to make that party active, watchful, enthusiastic? |
14061 | Who should know, if not she, to be sure? |
14061 | Who, possessed by such ideas, could lead a life of love and service to God or man? |
14061 | Why broken? |
14061 | Why did he not do it? |
14061 | Why did he not? |
14061 | Why 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? |
14061 | Why did you not return to your father''s?" |
14061 | Why must we accept them, any more than his statements as to Murray or his own father? |
14061 | Why not issued as a card in the London papers? |
14061 | Why was this wonderful silence? |
14061 | Why, then, did he hate Sir Samuel Romilly, so that he exulted like a fiend over his tragical death? |
14061 | Why, then, did he hate her for wanting to live peaceably by herself? |
14061 | Why, then, you will say, does he not employ them to give a better colour to his own character? |
14061 | Why? |
14061 | With 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?'' |
14061 | Would not a wider love supersede the creed- bound charity of sects? |
14061 | Would you wish to proclaim it forthwith? |
14061 | Yet, with his sensibility and the knowledge of his worth, how did he act? |
14061 | You ask,''Why? |
14061 | and did he say, as they parted,''When shall we three meet again?'' |
14061 | and do you think that you shall wound it?" |
14061 | and is Lord Palmerston, who has used it so long and so cleverly, likely to promote that object? |
14061 | and was not his family motto Crede Byron? |
14061 | and why not? |
14061 | and why published after his death? |
14061 | and why was it preserved in Murray''s hands? |
14061 | behold it, Heaven,-- Have I not had to wrestle with my lot? |
14061 | evidence of sanity, or insanity? |
14061 | had he ever done anything to forfeit, or even endanger, his rank as a gentleman? |
14061 | how could you love him?'' |
14061 | is there then nothing in the world to think of but literary efforts? |
14061 | or of a guilty man, to whom the very idea of public trial means public exposure? |
14061 | or would you wish quietly to separate from your husband, and to cover the crime from the eye of man?'' |
14061 | said I,''did that cause then exist?'' |
14061 | the light of the first nuptial moon?'' |
14061 | what did he say? |
14061 | which has been silent, quiet, unoffending? |
14061 | while I was yet young, and might have reformed what might be wrong in my conduct, and retrieved what was perplexing in my affairs? |
14061 | why 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? |
44791 | And had he no moments of remorse? |
44791 | How could you go on after this,said I,"my dear? |
44791 | On vous dira: Savait- il être aimable? 44791 What do you mean?" |
44791 | What''s your name? |
44791 | What''s your name? |

25977 | But is not the writer content with what has been already said and done? 25977 But what will you have me do?" |
25977 | But, madam, how can we be silent when we hear such infamous things said against one so incapable of them? 25977 But,"said Kennedy,"how does he then explain the existence of sin in the world for upward of 6000 years? |
25977 | By what right do you attack Lord C----? |
25977 | Could it be otherwise? |
25977 | Did Lord Byron pray? |
25977 | Do you, then, believe in that miracle? |
25977 | Finally, what was his peculiar vice and foible? 25977 From mighty wrongs to petty perfidy, Have I not seen what human things could do? |
25977 | How about money? 25977 How did he behave in regard to women? |
25977 | How did the aspect of nature affect him? 25977 I am very sorry to have grieved you,"said he,"but how could you think that I was talking seriously?" |
25977 | I speak from hearsay; for what does cookery signify to a vegetable- eater? 25977 If the subject is important, why delay its explanation? |
25977 | Shall fair Euryalus pass by unsung? 25977 Tell me, dear,"said the little Eliza to her sister, whose enthusiasm for Byron she shared,"tell me what is the color of his eyes?" |
25977 | This may be true,said Kennedy,"but the question is, what are your motives and object for painting nothing but scenes of vice and folly?" |
25977 | Was he orthodox? |
25977 | Was it possible not to love so lovable a creature? 25977 What are those difficulties?" |
25977 | What did he think upon religious matters? 25977 What matters,"said Byron,"that Protestantism has decreased the number of its obligations, and reduced its articles of faith? |
25977 | What rules did he follow? 25977 What was his daily life? |
25977 | Where shall we be this day next year? |
25977 | Where shall we find,says Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton,"a purer, higher character than that of Angiolina, in the''Doge of Venice?'' |
25977 | Who hath not proved how freely words essay To fix one spark of Beauty''s heavenly ray? 25977 Why dost thou build the hall, son of the winged days? |
25977 | Why then,asked Byron,"increase the difficulties, when they are already so great?" |
25977 | Why,said Murray,"should you give £ 150 to this bad writer, to whom nobody would give a penny?" |
25977 | You seem to hate the Socinians greatly,remarked Byron,"but is this charitable? |
25977 | You will say,''To what tends all this?'' 25977 You will write to me? |
25977 | [ 104] Is this conversation real or imaginary? 25977 [ 178] He was evidently sad that day; but, is not the nature of his sadness revealed in those words:--"She is far away--?" |
25977 | _ I saw Lord Byron bear all this with the greatest patience._Could an irritable temper have done so? |
25977 | _ Why did we thus rise against our spoilt and favorite child?_The wicked knew well wherefore they had done it, but the good did not. |
25977 | ''How,''said he''raising our eyes to heaven, or directing them to the earth, can we doubt of the existence of God? |
25977 | ''Is it possible?'' |
25977 | ''Why, then,''said I to him,''have you earned for yourself the name of impious, and enemy of all religious belief, from your writings?'' |
25977 | ''Why,''returned the executioner,''you little rascal, what is that to you?'' |
25977 | *******"What brother springs a brother''s love to seek? |
25977 | A cheek and lip-- but why proceed? |
25977 | After all, even the highest game of crosses and sceptres, what is it? |
25977 | After all, what does this devotee of St. Teresa, this friend of the good Jesuit Fathers, want? |
25977 | After speaking of the religious enthusiast, and saying that his soul preceded his dust to heaven, he adds:--"Is love less potent? |
25977 | After this depreciation of the Omnipotent, what says this philosophy of our soul? |
25977 | Again, if discussion was fruitful of results with Abel, must it be the same with Cain? |
25977 | Ah, why With cypress branches hast thou wreathed thy bowers, And made thy best interpreter a sigh?" |
25977 | Among Lord Byron''s moral virtues, may we count that of constancy? |
25977 | And I answer them:--"Do you forget that there are different kinds of anger? |
25977 | And after Angiolina''s admirable reply, Bulwer says:--"Is not this conception equal at least to that of Desdemona? |
25977 | And again,--"You believe in Plato''s three principles, why not in the Trinity? |
25977 | And all that he did in that fatal Greece, was it not a perpetual triumph over himself, his tastes, his desires, the wants of his nature and his heart? |
25977 | And all these contradictions,_ where_ and_ when_ did he experience them? |
25977 | And besides, why should others give themselves the trouble of exonerating a man from blame who depreciated himself? |
25977 | And can more be asked of men than to fight against them? |
25977 | And did he not, through other types, equally prove his belief in all the noblest, most virtuous sentiments of our soul? |
25977 | And he knows I set out to- morrow to be absent for years, perhaps never to return? |
25977 | And how does it, in reality, enter there? |
25977 | And was Christ crucified that black men might be scourged? |
25977 | And what thought Byron of the existence of God? |
25977 | And what was this gift? |
25977 | And why, then, had she believed him mad? |
25977 | And yet has Moore spoken of it? |
25977 | And yet what was his conduct? |
25977 | And yet, in the very paroxysm of such irritation, was a personal sentiment his first incentive? |
25977 | And, after all, is not the authority of the Church the better of the two? |
25977 | And, elsewhere:--"Shall I go to Lansdowne''s? |
25977 | And, taking earth and heaven to witness, he exclaimed:--"Have I not had to wrestle with my lot? |
25977 | Are not a thousand words wanted to restore a reputation which a light word or, may be, slight malice has tarnished? |
25977 | Are not all the mysteries common to both creeds? |
25977 | Are not his discussions and monologues too long? |
25977 | Are not such books rather dangerous than otherwise for some minds? |
25977 | Are not the unities and the proportions disregarded in his plays? |
25977 | Are not, perhaps, his characters too real? |
25977 | Are such dictates to be considered as their own views?" |
25977 | Are such metamorphoses possible to withered souls? |
25977 | Are these virtues such that, like excellent and salutary substances, they become poisoned when placed in contact within the same crucible? |
25977 | As for authority, if the Catholic obeys the Church and considers it infallible, does not the Protestant do the same with the Bible? |
25977 | As for miracles, how could he think them absurd and impossible, since he admitted the omnipotence of God? |
25977 | As regards complaints and avowals humiliating for our nature, could there be any more eloquent than those of St. Augustine? |
25977 | As the doctor became more urgent, Byron said----"How will you have me begin?" |
25977 | At all times the world has been very unjust; and( who does not know it?) |
25977 | At least it is a quality pertaining to noble minds; and could it, then, be wanting in Lord Byron? |
25977 | Besides, is courage a virtue? |
25977 | But can the same be said of other countries, and of France especially? |
25977 | But could it have existed without being perceived by those who lived with him? |
25977 | But did Mr. Galt, Mr. Adair, and Mr. Bruce, really witness the return of these impressions? |
25977 | But did it really exist? |
25977 | But even were He proclaimed such, what would be the result of this philosophical condescension, unless it be that God is distinct from the world? |
25977 | But have these observers examined well on which side lay the cause of unhappiness? |
25977 | But how do you explain the anger expressed by his pen? |
25977 | But if Lord Byron was constant to a certain order of ideas, was he equally constant in his affections? |
25977 | But 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? |
25977 | But if he were treated with the same injustice by foreigners, could the same excuse be made for them? |
25977 | But if his generosity had ended in only satisfying the fine tendencies of his nature, would it have acquired the right to be called virtuous? |
25977 | But if we can justify the accusation of his having been imprudent, can we justify his having been calumniated? |
25977 | But in shortening the road would the author attain the desired end? |
25977 | But on what grounds is it founded? |
25977 | But ought he to grant it? |
25977 | But some will object,"Are you going to judge of his views from his poetry? |
25977 | But then it will be said, why did he marry her? |
25977 | But then of what necessity would the soul be, if the body can think? |
25977 | But to whom were these lines addressed? |
25977 | But was her mind equally cured? |
25977 | But was not the drama entitled a Mystery, and was not the title to be justified, as it were? |
25977 | But what is a misanthrope? |
25977 | But what is it to us what Jupiter does up there? |
25977 | But what was it she would have fled from? |
25977 | But when he arrived at it,--when he became transformed, so to say, into an idol,--did this necessity for solitude abandon him? |
25977 | But where had they found, and from whose hands did they receive this ready- made poet, whose features they reproduced and offered to the world? |
25977 | But who should be the object of his choice? |
25977 | But with all his great and noble qualities was it to be expected that Lord Byron would fall into the doctrines proffered by pantheists? |
25977 | But would his heart be equally strong-- would it not yield on seeing her unhappy? |
25977 | But would it be equally just to attribute this taste to melancholy, and then to call his melancholy_ misanthropy_? |
25977 | But would it have been developed without the aid of other causes? |
25977 | But, could he truly find faith in their pages? |
25977 | But, if he left, what would become of Greece? |
25977 | But, it may be said, Why speak of his courage? |
25977 | But, on the other hand, would it not have been very natural for him, having heard them, to feel a little rancor against her? |
25977 | But, throughout this analysis by Moore, do we see aught save an intellectual quality? |
25977 | By his words, his actions, and the testimony of all those who approached him, was not Lord Byron the reverse of all this? |
25977 | By what was he most impressed on reaching Venice? |
25977 | Campbell, give thy talents scope: Who dare aspire, if thou must cease to hope?" |
25977 | Can a genius be a stranger to man, and does not the earth seem too small to contain such exceptional beings? |
25977 | Can a single one be found in Byron''s character? |
25977 | Can guilt like man''s be e''er forgiven? |
25977 | Can his portrait be found in the descriptions given by his biographers? |
25977 | Can it be alleged, by way of excuse, that he gave extracts from it? |
25977 | Can it be objected, that the fact of the defense of a foreigner detracts from the interest of the reader? |
25977 | Can it be said that we have not sufficiently condemned? |
25977 | Can one attach much importance to opinions expressed in verse? |
25977 | Can one doubt, that at that solemn moment his greatest desire was to be allowed to live? |
25977 | Can one see him without being moved? |
25977 | Can the conviction of the existence of immortality, unless founded upon revelation, be any thing else but a hope or a sentiment? |
25977 | Can vice atone for crimes by prayer? |
25977 | Che giova a me l''aver si cara Amante? |
25977 | Could Goethe see with pleasure another star rise in the horizon, when his own was at its zenith? |
25977 | Could he have done otherwise, even if he had wished it ever so much? |
25977 | Could he not desire the meeting? |
25977 | Could he possibly admit that the doctrine which prescribed these sacrifices was better than any other? |
25977 | Could it be otherwise with an organization like his? |
25977 | Could it be otherwise? |
25977 | Could it be otherwise? |
25977 | Could it be the Greek vessel sent to meet him? |
25977 | Could love exist between two natures so widely dissonant? |
25977 | Could peace, however, have dwelt within his soul? |
25977 | Could 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? |
25977 | Could the intellect that caused him to appreciate others so well fail to make him feel his own great superiority? |
25977 | Could we forget the tone of his voice, or his gesture, adding charm to all he said? |
25977 | Could, then, such a heart as Lord Byron''s be ungrateful, and not love such a mother? |
25977 | Deceit 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? |
25977 | Did Lord Byron possess the whole of these, or only a part? |
25977 | Did Lord Byron possess this power? |
25977 | Did Lord Byron really question, in his poems, the infinite goodness of God, as he has been accused of doing? |
25977 | Did Lord Byron''s generosity reach this great moral height? |
25977 | Did Lord Byron''s generosity really attain such a high degree? |
25977 | Did envy or rivalry ever enter into his soul? |
25977 | Did he avoid her so much as the stanzas addressed to the lovely Florence, in the first canto of"Childe Harold,"would fain imply? |
25977 | Did he draw from the world''s votaries his rules of judgment, his ways of thought? |
25977 | Did he exercise that influence, and if he did not, for what reason? |
25977 | Did he not believe in the necessity of religion? |
25977 | Did he not burn the whole edition, because a friend whom he respected, disapproved some parts? |
25977 | Did he not clearly confess it himself? |
25977 | Did 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? |
25977 | Did he not think, some years before his death, that his popularity was wavering, and that his rivals would profit by it? |
25977 | Did he yield when brought in contact with that terrible_ English law of opinion_? |
25977 | Did his intellectual activity slacken? |
25977 | Did his true affections, or even his simple tastes, suffer from the varied impresses of his versatile genius? |
25977 | Did not Pascal almost wish man to understand that_ he is an incomprehensible monster_? |
25977 | Did not his genius suffer then from the new infatuation? |
25977 | Did she ever contemplate the possibility of becoming his wife? |
25977 | Did she forget that she was responsible before God and before that country whose pride he was about to become? |
25977 | Did we not see him, even in earliest youth, burn writings, or abstain from writing, through excess of delicacy and fear of wounding his neighbors? |
25977 | Did you never hear me say,''that when there was a right or a wrong, she had the right?'' |
25977 | Dismiss thy guard, and trust thee to such traits, For who would lift a hand except to bless? |
25977 | Do I err In deeming such inhabit many a spot? |
25977 | Do n''t you find that my arguments are more like your own than you would have thought?" |
25977 | Do not poets often say that which they do not think, but which genius inspires them to write? |
25977 | Do they fear being told they have made a panegyric, passing for flatterers, appearing to get through a task? |
25977 | Do you forget his misanthropical invectives, his personal attacks, his''Avatar,''his epigrams?" |
25977 | Do you remember his beautiful lines in the"Due Foscari?" |
25977 | Does he mean that his mother did not justly appreciate the peculiarities of her child''s character, or promote the fine dispositions of his nature? |
25977 | Does he not also found his belief upon the Bible? |
25977 | Does it not stand out in relief, a pure, high attribute of genius? |
25977 | Does not genius require genius to be its interpreter? |
25977 | Does not his own exuberant genius become a fatigue to himself and to his readers? |
25977 | Enough.--The faithful and the fairy pair, Who never found a single hour too slow, What was it made them thus exempt from care? |
25977 | Ere this God has judged her above; but, here below, can those possessing hearts have any indulgence for her? |
25977 | Even with the best intentions, could any of the essential, moral, and holy principles of nature be introduced into such a system? |
25977 | Far from having been too proud and reserved in his habits of life, have we not seen him reproached with being too familiar? |
25977 | For what reason? |
25977 | Forced to remain on shore and wait, what sort of humor did he display under these annoyances? |
25977 | From ancient lineage, not unworthy sprung: What though one sad dissension bade us part? |
25977 | Gratitude, that proves such an insupportable load to the proud man, did it not rather seem a happiness to him? |
25977 | Had 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? |
25977 | Had he no fear of such perfection? |
25977 | Had he no warning, no inspiration from his good genius during all that time? |
25977 | Had he not given irrefragable proof of the truth of these memoirs, by sending them to be read and_ commented on_ by Lady Byron? |
25977 | Has he, on this account, disregarded the great merits of that glorious mind? |
25977 | Has 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? |
25977 | Has not the general voice of his countrymen long ago pronounced upon the subject sentence without trial, and condemnation without a charge? |
25977 | Have I not been exiled by ostracism, except that the shells which proscribed me were anonymous? |
25977 | Have I not had my brain sear''d, my heart riven, Hopes sapp''d, name blighted, Life''s life lied away? |
25977 | Have I not had my brain sear''d, my heart riven, Hopes sapp''d, name blighted, Life''s life lied away?" |
25977 | Have I not suffered things to be forgiven? |
25977 | Have I not suffered things to be forgiven? |
25977 | He often asked himself, whether the first man could ever have been created a child? |
25977 | He was at this time contemplating a voyage:--"Ward talks of going to Holland, and we have partly discussed an expedition together.... And why not?... |
25977 | He was beloved by many, notwithstanding a host of jealous rivals; and yet, on the point of losing all these advantages, what was his prayer? |
25977 | He 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? |
25977 | He writes to Rogers, 27th June, 1814:--"Are there any chances or possibility of ending this, and making our peace with Carlisle? |
25977 | Hear''st thou the accents of despair? |
25977 | Her golden mountains where? |
25977 | Here are some of his answers:--"What is poetry?" |
25977 | How choose without regretting what has been discarded? |
25977 | How dared this lady to marry a man so distinguished, and then to treat him ill and tyrannically? |
25977 | How has this occurred? |
25977 | How hope for immortality, if that which thinks is subject to dissolution and to death? |
25977 | How then shall we reconcile these opposite testimonies? |
25977 | I am sorry for it; what can_ he_ fear from criticism?" |
25977 | I do n''t wish to claim the character of''Vates''the prophet, but were they not a little prophetic? |
25977 | I wonder if I am really or not? |
25977 | If Byron did not question the existence of God, did he doubt the spirituality and immortality of the soul? |
25977 | If Byron was jealous of the living, of whom could he have been so? |
25977 | If Childe Harold personifies Lord Byron, who will personify the poet? |

25977 | If asked why, then, I sat for my own? |
25977 | If he had complained a little of his hard fate, could one be much astonished? |
25977 | If he had had a bad disposition, been capricious, irritable, or given to anger, would this have been the case? |
25977 | If it is easy not to give way to our passions at seventy, is it equally so at twenty or at thirty? |
25977 | If much has been said of Lord Byron, has his truly noble character been fairly brought to light? |
25977 | If only the faults, why not also the crimes? |
25977 | If she aspired to the reputation of a virtuous woman, could true virtue have done otherwise? |
25977 | If, as Moore observes, it be true that Byron never lost a friend, was their friendship a like friendship with his own? |
25977 | In a God, Creator of all things? |
25977 | In ability who was like Matthews? |
25977 | In 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?... |

25977 | In one, and one alone deceived, Did I my error mourn? |
25977 | In our liberty of action, and our moral responsibility? |
25977 | In short, was Lord Byron inconstant? |
25977 | In short, why should he have shown consideration for persons whose merit consists in never_ allowing themselves to be seen as they are_? |
25977 | In the absolute solitude of a town like Ravenna, imprisoned, so to say, within his own apartment, how could he avoid some emotions of sadness? |
25977 | In the spirituality, and therefore immortality, of the soul? |
25977 | In_ 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_? |
25977 | Instead of that, what did he find? |
25977 | Is a day said to be stormy because a few clouds have obscured the rays of the sun? |
25977 | Is it because you are afraid to print any thing in opposition to the ca nt of the''Quarterly''about Manicheism? |
25977 | Is it merely that we may exercise the mind, and make truth the toy of our imagination? |
25977 | Is it necessary to say any thing about what he doubted? |
25977 | Is it not in Scotland that his heart was nursed with every affection, that his mind drank in the essence of poetry? |
25977 | Is it truth, piety, generosity, firmness, abnegation, devotedness, independence, patriotism, humanity, heroism? |
25977 | Is it, then, surprising that he, like his hero,"Childe Harold,"should see with indifference the shores of his native land recede? |
25977 | Is not that perishable which is capable of dissolution according to the laws of the world? |
25977 | Is not their reputation a part of the inherited treasure? |
25977 | Is the writer ignorant of the public opinion and the public conduct upon that occasion? |
25977 | Is there any in Milton? |
25977 | Is truth which can be so easily changed equally easy to re- establish? |
25977 | It is true that I am young to begin again, but with whom can I retrace the laughing part of life?" |
25977 | It 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?" |
25977 | Lord Byron turned to the doctor, and said:--"Have you heard what S---- said? |
25977 | Men do not labor over the ignoble and petty dead-- and why should not the dead be Homer''s dead? |
25977 | Moore had already felt some vague disquietude, and he asked why he allowed his mind to dwell on such sorrowful ideas? |
25977 | Moore would seem to say that Byron''s childhood was badly directed; but how so? |
25977 | Must not even his peace of conscience have counterbalanced bitter remembrances? |
25977 | N----, the author of Bertram''s dramas, whom Walter Scott had recommended to him? |
25977 | Nevertheless, the paths that lead to glory are various, and trod by many; which should he choose? |
25977 | No one respected more than he did all that was really holy, virtuous, and respectable; but who could blame him for wishing to denounce hypocrisy? |
25977 | Now, is not pale and silent anger of the kind that is overcome? |
25977 | Now, let it be said in all sincerity, what analogy can there be between the proud man and Lord Byron? |
25977 | Now, what says the moralist of the proud man? |
25977 | Of 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?" |
25977 | On a calm and dark night he goes to her tomb and strews it with flowers; then, speaking of her virtues, exclaims:--"But wherefore weep? |
25977 | Or all the labors of a grateful lay? |
25977 | Or can think that some of the best men that ever lived have been fools?" |
25977 | Or did she chain it down to the fulfillment of some austere duty, that stood her in lieu of happiness? |
25977 | Or fill at once the realms of space, A thing of eyes, that all survey? |
25977 | Or 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? |
25977 | Ought not these examples at least to destroy the absolute nature of the theory, making it at best conditional? |
25977 | Persecuted as he was, could Byron be expected to remain unmoved? |
25977 | Praise him I think you must; but will you also praise him well,--of all things the most difficult? |
25977 | Proof against all meannesses, but young and most unhappy, was she always able to resist the promptings of a warm, feeling, grateful heart? |
25977 | Redeeming worlds to be by bigots shaken, How was thy toil rewarded?" |
25977 | Say, can ambition''s fever''d dream bestow So sweet a balm to soothe your hours of woe? |
25977 | Seriously; was he bound to any great tenderness toward such friendship as that? |
25977 | Shall each pretend to reach the skies, Yet doom his brother to expire, Whose soul a different hope supplies, Or doctrines less severe inspire? |
25977 | Shall it be said that his language was occasionally too violent; that the punishment went beyond the crime? |
25977 | Shall it be said that oftentimes one has wished to prove what had already been conceded by every body? |
25977 | Shall it be said that the moral sense of these invectives was not always brought forward with all the clearness desirable? |
25977 | Shall man condemn his race to hell, Unless they bend in pompous form? |
25977 | Shall man confine his Maker''s sway To Gothic domes of mouldering stone? |
25977 | Shall reptiles, grovelling on the ground, Their great Creator''s purpose know? |
25977 | Shall these, by creeds they ca n''t expound, Prepare a fancied bliss or woe? |
25977 | Shall 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? |
25977 | She invented a tale, but what does she say when the truth escapes her? |
25977 | She was my life''s unerring light: That quench''d, what beam shall break my night?" |
25977 | Should not authors sacrifice themselves to their subject in all works inspired by a devoted spirit? |
25977 | Some weeks after, he wrote to Dallas:--"At three- and- twenty I am left alone, and what more can we be at seventy? |
25977 | Still so young, handsome, rich, and almost adored, for whom could life have more value? |
25977 | Tell them to look at the pictures of him which were painted by Saunders, by Phillips, by Holmes, or by Westall? |
25977 | Tell us that all, for one who fell, Must perish in the mingling storm? |
25977 | That Lord Byron loved solitude, and that it was a want of his nature who can doubt? |
25977 | The lies of Dr. Moore about the"Doge Faliero"almost made him angry:--"Where did Dr. Moore find that Marino Faliero begged his life? |
25977 | The only light that had brightened her path had gone out, and, plunged in darkness, how did she pursue her course through life? |
25977 | Then, unembodied, doth it trace By steps each planet''s heavenly way? |
25977 | These quotations perhaps will be found too many, but are they not necessary? |
25977 | Thine image, what new friendship can efface? |
25977 | Things must have had a beginning, and what matters it when or how?" |
25977 | Though none, like thee, his dying hour will cheer, Yet other offspring soothe his anguish here: But who with me shall hold thy former place? |
25977 | Through what strange agony did he pass? |
25977 | Thus he knew him well, and if Lord Byron''s temper had been unamiable, would he have undertaken such a long journey with him? |
25977 | Thus high and graceful was her gait; Her heart as tender to her mate; Her mate-- stern Hassan, who was he? |
25977 | Time and space, who can conceive? |
25977 | To Murray he wrote the same day:--"Is it true what Shelley writes me, that poor John Keats died at Rome of the''Quarterly Review?'' |
25977 | To me what is wealth?--it may pass in an hour, If tyrant''s prevail, or if Fortune should frown: To me what is title? |
25977 | To show it outwardly must he not have struggled? |
25977 | To what, then, did they apply? |
25977 | To whom did He promise that He would never change it, either wholly or in part? |
25977 | To- morrow, there is Lady Heathcote''s-- shall I go? |

25977 | Was it he who would have refused the counsels of friendship? |
25977 | Was it hypochondriasis, as he imagined? |
25977 | Was it natural that in order to justify certain coquetries to her affianced, she should make use of insulting expressions with regard to young Byron? |

25977 | Was it vengeance? |
25977 | Was it visible? |

25977 | Was not Lord Byron surrounded with the tenderest cares while in Scotland? |
25977 | Was not one hour passed with him then a payment with rich usury for all the little concessions his genius required? |
25977 | Was that an error?--an illusion? |
25977 | Washington Irving appears to think the contrary:--"Was this love returned?" |
25977 | Were 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? |
25977 | Were it not easy, sir, and is''t not sweet To make thyself beloved? |
25977 | Were some of his biographers right in asserting that he had adopted Cuvier''s system? |
25977 | Were there not moments in which she did not look upon him only as a brother, or a child? |
25977 | Were this accusation ever to prove correct, to what does it amount, except to say that he has a liver complaint? |
25977 | Were we wrong in saying that the accusations against Byron, with respect to Keats, did not deserve a notice? |
25977 | What are the virtues so insulted? |
25977 | What can I say, or think, or do? |
25977 | What can I say, or think, or do? |
25977 | What can be said to those who never saw him? |
25977 | What caused this change? |
25977 | What could he do more? |
25977 | What did his thorough good sense tell him about religion in general? |
25977 | What does M. Taine say then? |
25977 | What 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? |

25977 | What was her love for him? |
25977 | What was his occupation? |
25977 | What was the result? |
25977 | What was this defect, since all becomes illustrious in an illustrious man? |
25977 | What were his thoughts? |

25977 | When they criticised without good faith and without measure his beautiful dramas, saying they were not adapted for the stage, what did he reply? |
25977 | Whence arose his melancholy? |
25977 | Whence did this arise? |

25977 | Where does M. de Lamartine find the truth which he proposes to tell the world about Byron? |
25977 | Where her glittering towers? |

25977 | Who can breathe the soft air of that beautiful land, without feeling a healing balm descend on wounds within? |
25977 | Who knows whether some day He will not give the moon an oval or a square shape instead of a round one?" |
25977 | Who likes to own that he has been a fool all his life,--to unlearn all that he has been taught in his youth? |
25977 | Who more than he despised popularity and literary success, if they were to be purchased at the cost of truth? |

25977 | Who, more than Byron, ever believed in our right of judgment, and proclaimed that right more strenuously than he has, in prose and in verse? |

25977 | Why bend to the proud, or applaud the absurd, Why search for delight in the friendship of fools? |
25977 | Why change the ages, and give Miss Chaworth fifteen when she was eighteen, or himself eighteen when he was fifteen? |
25977 | Why crouch to her leaders, or cringe to her rules? |

25977 | Why should my anxious breast repine, Because my youth is fled? |
25977 | Why take from him his own sentiments, to give him those of his hero? |

25977 | Yet why for him the needless verse essay? |
25977 | Yet why should I mingle in Fashion''s full herd? |
25977 | Yet, with his sensibility and the knowledge of his worth, how did he act?--what did he say? |
25977 | You will write to me? |
25977 | [ 70] This constancy of heart that he showed in friendship, was it equally his in matters of love? |
