As Milton lamenting his blindness, the stranger student mourns wisdom and life "at one entrance quite shut out." The first result of this is a great outbreak of sentimentality among the callowlings. Their hearts are inflammable as those of the flaxen-haired youths I met afterwards in the universities of Germany, only living on oatmeal, without sausages, and less florid with beer.
'Take heart, Benjamin, said Mr. Fenellan; 'it's only the bottle dies; and we are the angels above to receive the spirit. 'I'm thinking of the house, Benjamin replied. He told them that again. 'It 's the loss of the fame of having the wine, that he mourns. But, Benjamin, said Mr. Fenellan, 'the fame enters into the partakers of it, and we spread it, and perpetuate it for you.
They all made way for her, and when she came into the presence, the King himself rose, astonished, and came forward to meet her. The splendid diamonds of the necklace and bracelets flashed in his eyes, and he cried: "By Heavens! Cardillac's work!" Then, turning to Madame de Maintenon, he said, with a pleasant smile, "See, Madame la Marquise, how our fair lady mourns for her affianced husband."
He hates gladiatorial shows; he despises even the tasteless pageantry of the Roman theatre; he heartily loves books; he is saving up all his earnings to buy a coveted library for his old age; he has a real enthusiasm for great writers; he breaks through national pride, and feels sincerely grateful to the Greeks as the authors; of civilization, rogues though he knew them to be in his time; he mourns, albeit with an apology, over the death of a slave; his slaves evidently are attached to him, and are faithful to him at the last; he writes to his favourite freedman with all the warmth of equal friendship.
"Funny man in the east parlor!" says the chambermaid. "Isn't he ugly!" says her fellow-chambermaid. But after this long discontent, Robert Chalmers finds that Chicago mourns for him. He is flattered. "I earned it!" he cries, and goes in search of the books that once eased him the identical copies. The movement for a cenotaph makes him smile.
"Then," said Deerfoot, "he will make known the truth of the pale-faced boy for whom the heart of Deerfoot mourns." Without hesitating a moment, the Pawnee made answer: "Lone Bear speaks with a single tongue; he can not tell where the pale-faced warrior is."
Gone forever from mortal eyes is she, in whom blent "All images of comforter and friend, The fireside charmer, and the nurse of pain, Eyes to the blind, and, to the weary, wings. What shall console" The survivor? To whom can we commend her who thus mourns the riven tie of a mother's love? Where is the solace for the dependent, affectionate female, who weeps over the ashes of a departed parent?
"Mither's; and she mourns me dead!" thought he; but it was only the far-off village-bell, which sounded like the echo of music he had heard lang syne, but might never hear again. "D'ye think I'm not alive?" tolled the bell. "I sit all day in my little wooden temple, brooding over the sins of the parish." "A brazen lie!" cried Robin. "Nay, the truth, as I'm a living soul!
It was a momentary thought, too hopeless to encourage; and her father stood there with the light hard, unresponsive, motionless until the fluttering dress of his fair child was lost in the darkness. Let him remember it in that room, years to come. The rain that falls upon the roof: the wind that mourns outside the door: may have foreknowledge in their melancholy sound.
*Prometheus Unbound. One of Shelley's last poems was an elegy called Adonais. Under the name of Adonais, he mourns for the death of another poet, John Keats, who died at twenty-six. Shelley believed when he wrote the poem that Keats had been done to death by the cruel criticisms of his poems, that he had died of a broken heart, because the world neither understood nor sympathized with his poetry.
