Diamond's hatred of Frank made him blind to the fact that he was in the least to blame, and filled him with a passionate belief that he could kill the smiling Northerner without a qualm of conscience without a pang of remorse. At last, disgusted with his non-success in striking Frank at all, he sprang forward suddenly and grappled with him. Frank had been on the watch for that move.
That was why they had been so frightened and desperate and hurried. They had clung together and shut their eyes and caught at the few hours the few heavenly hours. He had said it would come suddenly. But she had not thought it would be as sudden as this. Last night a soldier had brought a few wild, passionate blotted lines to her. Yes, they had been blotted and blistered.
"Oh! are you you badly hurt?" "Lift me my head," he said, faintly. She raised his head. What a strained, passionate, terrible gaze he bent upon the horses. "Boy, they're mine the black an' the red!" he cried. "They surely must be," replied Lucy. "Oh! tell me. Are you hurt?" "Boy! did you catch them fetch them back lookin' for me?" "I sure did."
You believe me a spy, and you think for that reason I was trying to escape from Richmond!" She stopped and looked at Prescott, and when she met his answering gaze the flush in her cheeks deepened. "Ah, I was right; you do think me a spy!" she exclaimed with passionate earnestness, "and God knows I might have been one! Some such thought was in my mind when I went to Miss Grayson's in Richmond.
I ask not, I know not, if guilt's in thy heart I but know that I love thee, whatever thou art. He laughed. 'Very passionate, but hardly respectable.

And, as she threw herself back in her chair with an expression of unchangeable determination in her dark, gazelle-like eyes, there suddenly came into her mind the memory of a day long ago, when, driving along the road from Maisons-Lafitte to Saint-Germain, she had met some wandering gipsies, two men and a woman, with copper-colored skins and black eyes, in which burned, like a live coal, the passionate melancholy of the race.
It was the singing of this sweet English bird, making articulate for me the beauty I could not utter, that brought back to memory the scene, the music, and the words.... I looked round me; I looked up. As I did so, the little creature, with one last burst of passionate happiness, flew away into the darkness.
The choice that is based on relative considerations that is, has in view the constitution of the individual is much more certain, decided, and exclusive than the choice that is made after merely absolute considerations; consequently real passionate love will have its origin, as a rule, in these relative considerations, and it will only be the ordinary phases of love that spring from the absolute.
Or, on the other hand, if the rays of a passionate nature should ever be concentrated on them, they would be absorbed into the very depths of his nature, and then his blood would turn to flame and burn his life out of him, until his cheeks grew as white as the ashes that cover a burning coal. I wish I had not said either sex in my certificate.
But indeed his actual Speeches, I apprehend, were not nearly so ineloquent, incondite, as they look. We find he was, what all speakers aim to be, an impressive speaker, even in Parliament; one who, from the first, had weight.
