An old custom is not lightly broken. "So let us laugh, lest vain rememberings Breed, as of old, some rude bucolic cry Of awkward anguishes, of dreams that die Without decorum, of Love lacking wings Yet striving you-ward in his flounderings Eternally, as now, even when I lie As I lie now, who know that you and I Exist and heed not lesser happenings. "I was. I am. I will be.
Like a funeral-knell, this despairing chant haunted him, now that he was in bed, prostrated by fever and agitated by an anxiety so much the more inappeasable for the fact that he could not discover its cause. He ended by abandoning himself to the torrent of anguishes suddenly dammed by the chant of psalms slowly rising in his tortured head.
Here were anguishes to be endured, and time and human frailty and temporal hardship all for love to mock at; a sea or two for love to sever, a man-made law or so for love to override, a shallow wisdom for love to deny, in exultance that these ills at most were only corporal hindrances. This done, you have earned the right to come come hand-in-hand to heaven whose liege-lord was Eternal Love.
The words coming to her in the midst of anguishes and hot emotions, she said: 'Sire, this is my much-loved cousin, who hath bought me food and dress in my days of poverty, selling his very farms. Culpepper grunted over his shoulder: 'Hold thy tongue, cousin Kat. Ye know not that ye shall observe silence in the awful presence of kings.
We saw many other ruined villages after Auve, but this was the first, and perhaps for that reason one had there, most hauntingly, the vision of all the separate terrors, anguishes, uprootings and rendings apart involved in the destruction of the obscurest of human communities.
For them there was nothing left no more tremblings and flutterings and delicious anguishes, no more throbbing and pulsing, and sighing and song. Desire was dead. It had died in the night, on a couch cold and unattended; nor had they witnessed its passing. They learned it for the first time in each other's eyes. "The gods may not be kind, but they are often merciful.
Sitting in subdued silence, one remembers something about "moving accidents by flood and field," and thanks fortune that these pitiful oddments are only going to a storage warehouse, not to be transported thence until the kindly season of spring. But packing for storage instead of for moving implies subtler and more painful anguishes.
"But she was coy, and ever she fluttered near to me but never near enough. When my arm went out to her to girdle her, presto, she was not there. I knew, as never before, nor since, the thousand dear and delightful anguishes of love frustrated but ever resilient and beckoned on by the very goddess of love." "Some vocabulary," Bruce Cadogan Cavendish muttered in aside to Chauncey Delarouse.
Friedrich, during those grand victories, is suffering sadly in health, "COLIQUE DEPUIS HUIT JOURS, neither sleep nor appetite;" "eight months of mere anguishes and agitations do wear one down." There for some three months he had a tolerable time; perhaps, by contrast, almost a delightful. Readers must imagine it; we have no details allowed us, nor any time for them even if we had.
She told herself that her own heartaches were negligible, despicable against the innumerable anguishes of the women who saw their men, their old men, their young men, their lads, going into the eternal mills of the war, while hunger and loneliness and toil unknown to women before made up their daily portion. She accused herself for still remaining apart from that continental sisterhood of grief.
