I loved that high-born, noble woman, better than I have since loved aught in this cold, bad world: at least, my affection for her was of a purer, holier character.
It is also to Mohammed's credit that his devotion to his first wife never wavered to the day of her death and, indeed, as long as he himself lived he spoke with reverence and deep affection of Khadeejeh. We learn that the next fifteen years were lived in the usual manner of a man of his station.
Which of the chief European languages will come first, after the War, with the little nations? Will Serbia be content to speak German? Will Norway and Denmark feel a new affection for the speech of the men who have degraded the old humanity of the seas?

Of course, if she had been a married woman that is, a widow much as they would have preferred a young girl for Jean, or even, if widow it had to be, a widow of another type still, it was conceivable that, out of affection for him, they might have resigned themselves to his choice. But a young girl bring such a young girl to Réchamp!
When a person is awake we cannot see that larger part of his emotion at all; its strength goes in setting in motion the gross physical matter of the brain. So if we see a man show affection here, what we can see is not the whole of his affection, but only such part of it as is left after all this other work has been done.
And now nothing remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the violence of my affection.
