Accordingly, my dear Raphael, love is the ladder by which we climb up to likeness to God. Unconsciously to ourselves, without laying claim to it, we aim at this. Lifeless masses are we, when we hate; Gods, when we cling; in love to one another, Rejoicing in the gentle bond of love.
No one dares to write scarcely to think politics; if truth is to be told, it must be told by the English; England is the only tribunal yet open to the complaints of Europe. A greater poet and nobler man, Ugo Foscolo, had but lately uttered a wail still more despondent: 'Italy will soon be nothing but a lifeless carcass, and her generous sons should only weep in silence without the impotent complaints and mutual recriminations of slaves.

Gazing wildly around for a moment, he threw his arms forward, shouting "I come, beloved, I come!" and then falling back he lay a lifeless corpse.
Paul's solicitude, so obviously real, so wonderfully disinterested and so wholly free from cant, already had kindled something in the girl's heart which she had believed to be lifeless, and for ever cold. Now, his swift intuition and the grave sympathy in his beautiful voice imposed too great a test upon the weakened self-control of poor Kitty.

And he heard his mother keening over him: "Those accursed Jews have sucked out all his blood! It was not the first time that I beat my little darling!
The other five shots struck a lifeless body. A stratum of blue smoke hung breast high in the room as if it were the departing soul of the man who lay motionless on the floor.
