Father Payne has not much action, but he has a good voice; he lifts his arms slowly and regularly, leans forward somewhat, occasionally seizes both his hands and shakes them a little; but beyond this there is not much motion observable in him. He has a keen, discreet sense of things, and, like the rest of his order, can see a long way.
The sweeping outlines of life, that lay once before the vision, rolling into wide billows of years, like easy lifts of a broad mountain-range, now seem close-packed together as with a Titan hand, and you see only crowded, craggy heights, like Alpine fastnesses, parted with glaciers of grief, and leaking abundant tears!
Contemptuously she turns her back to me. "Take me with you, Thea," I cry, "take me with you to freedom." "Can you still endure it." "I will endure the glory of freedom or die of it." "Then come."

Profiting by this gleam of sunshine, Gower takes possession of her hand again and draws her gently towards him. "You will marry me," he says, "when you think of everything."
Oh brightest universe behold thy worshiper! spirit of beauty & of sympathy which pervades all things, & now lifts my soul as with wings, how have you animated the light & the breezes! Deep & inexplicable spirit give me words to express my adoration; my mind is hurried away but with language I cannot tell how I feel thy loveliness!
