I wish I could bring it back. It came to me unexpectedly, while I was kneeling by the bed, thinking. I have forgotten it all now one always forgets his best songs. I have not a line of this one, except the chorus: For I am lord of a thousand dollars! So it is that my best songs go. I can count them on my fingers. But I have not yet learned how precious they are that is why I lose them.
Her son draws near to her, and with an angelic expression of love and respect he bows down his head and salutes her. Then the mother's feelings predominate; she forgets every thing but his presence, and opens her arms to him; but it is no earthly form that she encloses within them, and the glorified body escapes her grasp.
The queen's face had been turned away, but as the light sound of the door struck her ear, she turned quickly around and saw that she was alone. "She has left me she has really gone," sighed the queen, bitterly. "Oh! she is like all the rest, she never loved me. But who does love me?" asked she, in despair. "Who is there in the world that loves me, and forgets that I am the queen?
What could it mean? what could it mean? this strange thing Blake had confessed to him? She she had bought Dandy to give to him? He must find words to thank her, but how could he without betraying all? Such silence could not last. Even in the thrilling instant of an avowal the woman does not live who so far forgets herself as to be insensible to the gaze of lookers-on.
These duties come before all others in Japanese eyes. Whatever else he may neglect, he never forgets these obligations. From infancy he is familiar with stories in which children are represented as doing the most extraordinary things and undergoing the greatest hardships in order to serve their parents. There is one famous old book called "Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Virtue."
But when homage is reiterated, when the pleasure of obeying a command and satisfying a caprice is begged for, when roses are strewn, and even necks put down in the path, one forgets to be humble; one forgets that in meekness alone lies the sole good; one confuses deserts with the hazards of heredity. However, in the end fate has no favourites. A woman who has beauty wants to frame it in beauty.
"General, do you say that to me, after seeing me weep in the hospital because the word of a dying man called back the recollection of my earliest childhood? Oh, believe me, my heart forgets its sorrows never, and if I must return to France, to Paris, it will seem to me as if I had always to be climbing the hill of Calvary with bloody feet to reach the top where I might perish on the cross.
Flashman forgets to explain what risk they ran, but he speaks to willing ears. Gambling makes boys selfish and cruel as well as men. "That's true. We always draw blanks," cried one. "Now, sir, you shall sell half, at any rate." "I won't," said Tom, flushing up to his hair, and lumping them all in his mind with his sworn enemy.
"Reub forgets his words, an' says 'em over, an' balks, an' mires down, an' backs out, an starts fresh, en' it's confusin' to foller him." "I'm glad to see you take so much interest, gentlemen," said I. "Yes, we're apt to see it through," said the barkeeper. And Stuart and I bade them a good-morning.
From an Andromache or a Hecuba, one can endure recitative: but when Heracles himself comes upon the stage, and so far forgets himself, and the respect due to the lion-skin and club that he carries, as to deliver a solo, no reasonable person can deny that such a performance is in execrable taste.
