A snake can sometimes creep under her perch, and glare, and keep hissing, till she shudders and droops and lays her plumage in the dust. GENERALLY deliberate crimes are followed by some great punishment; but they are also often attended in their course by briefer chastisements single strokes from the whip that holds the round dozen in reserve.
For it is certain that "this green wound" was green and grievous for a briefer time than the agony of his earlier sorrows. He himself, so earnest in analysing his own emotions, is perplexed by the short date of his tears, and his sharpest grief: "Let him read it who will, and interpret it as it pleaseth him." So, with the death of Monica, we may leave Saint Augustine.
"Pardon me," I answered, "the briefer the preparation, the greater the excitement, and what in life is equal to that?" "True," answered Bolingbroke; "to some natures, too restless to be happy, excitement can compensate for all, compensate for years wasted, and hopes scattered, compensate for bitter regret at talents perverted and passions unrestrained.
And how admirably he has described his own work in his definition of qualities which are common to all literature of a high order: simplicity, knowledge of human nature, agreeable personality.

The third poem, the Moretum, is at once briefer and slighter in structure and more masterly in form.
Not even the wisdom of a Solomon could answer completely; a few suggestions, however, may be offered which will help to bridge over this critical period. If the child has had positive training up to this time, the period of "storm and stress" will be briefer and less severe than it would be otherwise; but if the negative training has prevailed, there is less hope that the storm will be weathered.
For all that, I was now no less anxious to do the speaking myself than I had been before to hear Flora. At least, I could keep clear of the hateful image of Major Chevenix. Accordingly I burst at once on the narrative of my adventures. It was the same as you have read, but briefer, and told with a very different purpose.
Or, to make a briefer simile, the course of story-telling which we have for the present adopted, resembles the original discipline of the dragoons, who were trained to serve either on foot or horseback, as the emergencies of the service required. With this explanation, we shall proceed to narrate some circumstances which Alan Fairford did not, and could not, write to his correspondent. Mr.
