But never had the ribbed ship's side appeared to him as now. And yet it was the same; but he was not the same.

And as we are, so is the world to us; the most familiar objects changing their aspect with every change in the soul.
I screwed the cover on the traveling-glass, and put it with the sandwiches in the bottom of the stage. "It's a long and a rough ride," I said, "and if she wakes up they may give her a little strength. I only wish I could have spared her the fatigue and anxiety." "She thought she had to lie for father's sake, but she's nearly broken-hearted over it," he continued.

I call upon you, my lord, in the most solemn manner, with all the energy and anxiety of a mother, of one who will be of all women the most broken-hearted if you wrong her, to write at once and let me know when you will be here to keep your promise.

Poppy hoped that Jasmine would cheer up, and look at that lovely printed story of hers, and perhaps read it aloud to her; but poor Jasmine was really nearly broken-hearted, and said once almost passionately "How can I look at it, Poppy, when I don't know where our little darling is? Did she not share my secret? And she was so proud of me and she always would believe I was a genius.

The broken-hearted man is represented as standing by the door of his own house, in a dark and tempestuous night, with his gray locks streaming in the wind, and his head unprotected to the fury of the storm.
Exhausted and broken-hearted, after thirteen years of conflict with her own kinsmen, consoled for the cowardice and brutality of three husbands by the gentle and knightly spirit of the fourth, dispossessed of her father's broad domains, degraded from the rank of sovereign to be lady forester of her own provinces by her cousin, the bad Duke of Burgundy, Philip surnamed "the Good," she dies at last, and the good cousin takes undisputed dominion of the land.
