Were my former associates now there were there only three or four of those true-hearted men still laboring in the sun I sometimes fancy that I should direct my world-weary footsteps thitherward, and entreat them to receive me for old friendship's sake. More and more I feel we struck upon what ought to be a truth. Posterity may dig it up and profit by it."
Talk not of Love, it gives me pain, For Love has been my foe: He bound me with an iron chain, And sunk me deep in woe. But Friendship's pure and lasting joys My heart was formed to prove: There welcome, win and wear the prize, But never talk of Love. The alteration in the second stanza is no improvement, but there was a slight inaccuracy in your rhyme.
The sticks signified roses and geraniums. It had been a delightful garden alas, yes! We great, grown-up men we play just so: we make ourselves a garden with what we call love's roses and friendship's geraniums; we water them with our tears and with our heart's blood; and yet they are, and remain, dry sticks without root.
It chanced that one of these lads, while I was studying medicine, fell deadly sick, he being now a young man grown, and I was called in to be with the youth, partly for my knowledge of medicine, partly for old friendship's sake.
As it was, I kept on persisting like a cynic who has no one of his own to be sure of that he had better not be too sure! He might have seen, I thought then, that it was half chaff and half envy with me; but it was a nervous time, and I was less than sympathetic, less than a friend to him. And now I am loaded with friendship's honors, and you have come yourself to prove me in the wrong.
She has nothing to offer except Friendship's very self! this poor, poor Miss Smith!" Now, heaven alone knows why, but at that my eyes filled with foolish tears. If he saw them and they ran down my cheek in spite of me he mercifully gave no sign. Instead he held out his fine brown hand, and when I placed mine in it, he lifted it to his lips with foreign grace.
The friendship's dissonance YOU has dissolved itself into a harmonious THOU, and thou thyself hast given the accord. All at home speak of thee; even the Kammerjunker's Mamsell chose lately thee, and not her work-box, as a subject of conversation. The evening as thou drovest over the Jutland heaths I seated myself at the piano, and played thy whole journey to my sisters.
Wears friendship's mask for purposes of spite, Fawns in the day and butchers in the night. The dwelling of Sir Willmott Burrell was about eighteen or twenty miles from the island of Shepey, on the Kentish border.
May his name be blessed!" Jemmy was deeply affected by the kindness of his friend, for such, in friendship's truest sense, was he to him. He expressed, the obligations which he owed him, and promised to follow the excellent advice he had just received. The schoolmaster's conduct to the poor scholar had, before the close of the day on which it occurred, been known through the parish.
In a word, my friend Barry wholly forgetful of those sacred bonds which the hammer of Adversity alone can weld, scorning Friendship's holy obligations, has turned his back upon Smivvle, upon Digby, upon faithful Dig, and in short has ah hopped the mutual perch, sir." "Do you mean he has left you?" "Yes, sir.
