Then Liu I awoke as though from a deep sleep, and from that time on both were very fond of each other. One day his wife said: "If you wish to stay with me eternally, then we cannot continue to dwell in the world of men. We dragons live ten thousand years, and you shall share our longevity. Come back with me to the Sea of Dungting!"
Misfortune dodges the path of human life; the poetic mind finds itself miserably deranged in, and unfit for the walks of business; add to all, that thoughtless follies and hare-brained whims, like so many ignes fatui, eternally diverging from the right line of sober discretion, sparkle with step-bewitching blaze in the idly-gazing eyes of the poor heedless Bard, till, pop, "he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again."
"It has thus come to pass that, in place of a profound interpretation of the eternally recurring problems, a historical yea, even philological balancing and questioning has entered into the educational arena: what this or that philosopher has or has not thought; whether this or that essay or dialogue is to be ascribed to him or not; or even whether this particular reading of a classical text is to be preferred to that.
He could only desire to exercise his attributes without, or eternally to himself, which before creating other beings he could not do.

Gone was the elaborate coquetry of yesterday; gone the quiet roguishness of yesteryear; gone was all the Judith that I knew, and in her place stood a hollow-eyed woman shaking at gates eternally barred.

When will you start, and what will you take with you? "'If that clock of yours is right, Krantz, I exclaimed, pointing to a gun-metal timepiece on the mantelshelf, 'in half an hour.
The doctor dosed his youthful pupil with creeds and catechisms until his brain whirled with meaningless tags and phrases. And in recording the story Carlyle bursts out upon the dry-as-dust professor. 'In heaven's name, he cries, 'teach the boy nothing at all, or else teach him something that he will know, as long as he lives, to be eternally and indisputably true!
"It often happens," continued she, "that a first fault destroys the prospects of a whole life. I believed you dead; why did I survive you? What good has it done me to mourn for you eternally in the secret recesses of my heart? only to make a woman of thirty-nine look like a woman of fifty. Why, having recognized you, and I the only one to do so why was I able to save my son alone?
It proved Mister Jan's wondrous nobility of character, his unselfishness, his love.
