Seite 274 - An excited and highly distempered ideality threw a sulphureous lustre over all. His long improvised dirges will ring forever in my ears. Among other things, I hold painfully in mind a certain singular perversion and amplification of the wild air of the last waltz of Von Weber.
Seite 432 - Man doth not yield himself to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his feeble will.
