Charlotte was a married lady, And a moral man was Werther, And for all the wealth of Indies, Would do nothing for to hurt her.

But the honours of Coleridge are perennial, and will annually grow more verdant ; whilst from those of Goethe every generation will see something fall away, until posterity will wonder at the subverted idol, whose basis, being hollow and unsound, will leave the worship of their fathers an enigma to their descendants.
30 ページ - I could do much. Once, indeed, I had a mimosa-sensibility, but it has long been rooted out : five years ago I counteracted Rousseau by dieting upon Godwin and Epictetus ; they did me some good, but time has done more. I have a dislike to all strong emotion, and avoid whatever could excite it; a book like ' Werter
28 ページ - The merchant finds no argument against it in his ledger: the citizen at the crowded feast is not nauseated by the stench and filth of the slave-vessel — the fine lady's nerves are not shattered by the shrieks! She sips a beverage sweetened with human blood, even while she is weeping over the refined sorrows of Werter or of Clementina.
25 ページ - I discovered this place one fine afternoon : all was perfect stillness ; every body was in the fields, except a little boy about four years old, who was sitting on the ground, and holding between his knees a child of about...
