And was not this restatement of the national character Borodin's great contribution to his age's life?
He added to it the charm of a personality, and when that personality was enforced by a title, when it proclaimed its sorrows as the age's sorrows, endowed itself with an air of symbolism and set itself up as a kind of scapegoat for the nation's sins, its triumph was complete. Most men have from time to time to resist the temptation to pose to themselves; many do not even resist it.
Monument of our own age's shame, On thy country casting endless blame, Rousseau's grave, how dear thou art to me Calm repose be to thy ashes blest! In thy life thou vainly sought'st for rest, But at length 'twas here obtained by thee! When will ancient wounds be covered o'er? Wise men died in heathen days of yore; Now 'tis lighter yet they die again.
Comprehending artists in a mass, musicians, painters, actors, and so on, and considering each and all of them as radiations or flanges of that furious whirling wheel, poetry, the centre and axis of the whole, where else indeed may we so well investigate the causes, growths, tally-marks of the time the age's matter and malady?
If it comes up you're a dead premier: dead without a doctor. The whole thing now became a complex confusion; no one knew how to unconfuse it. It was a sad mistake having its origin only in the want of the age's appliances to our day and its circumstances; he had attempted a nut he had not capacity to swallow.

The player on Lionel's left bet an humble two shillings. The next player simply came in. So did the third who was Mr. Percival Miles. Likewise the dealer; in fact, they were all prepared to pay that modest sum to inspect the age's hand. But Lionel wanted a higher price for that privilege. "I'm coming in with the little two shillings," said he, "and I will raise you a sovereign."
With all her age's eagerness in quest of novelties, she commanded him to be brought to her. Gaveston having presented him, Wallace bowed with the respect due to her sex and dignity, and to the esteem in which he held the character of her royal brother. Margaret desired him to place his harp before her, and begin to sing.
Under a smiling sun an October breeze frolicked through leaves with tints of fire and gold, humming, while it swiftly skimmed over their beauties, as if it was reading a wind's poem of autumn. Katahdin looked as though it had suddenly taken on the white crown of age, with age's stately calm. The weather had grown colder during the night.
Sir Feeb. I see my Folly and my Age's Dotage and find the Devil was in me yet spare my Age ah! spare me to repent. Bel. If thou repent'st, renounce her, fly her sight; Shun her bewitching Charms, as thou wou'dst Hell, Those dark eternal Mansions of the dead Whither I must descend. Sir Feeb. Oh wou'd he were gone! Bel.
