Whilst failure inspirits a man, attainment reads the sad prosy lesson that all our glories "Are shadows, not substantial things." Truly said the sayer, "disappointment is the salt of life" a salutary bitter which strengthens the mind for fresh exertion, and gives a double value to the prize. This shade of melancholy soon passed away. The morning was beautiful.
"I fly all public care, all venal strife, To try the still, compared with active, life; To prove, by these, the sons of men may owe The fruits of bliss to bursting clouds of woe; That ev'n calamity, by thought refined, Inspirits and adorns the thinking mind." And more distinctly in the following passage:
Hopes of all passions, most befriend us here; Joy has her tears and Transport has her death: Hope, like a cordial, innocent, tho' strong. Man's heart at once inspirits and serenes; Nor makes him pay his wisdom for his joys.
It is like the red cloak in a group; it lights, warms, inspirits the whole picture. Benassis no doubt plays Providence in a manner and with a success which it is rarely given to mortal man to achieve; but we do not feel either the approach to sham, or the more than approach to gush, with which similar handling on the part of Dickens too often affects some of us.
I think you very sensible, and I think myself very fortunate in having such women in my household as you and Mary. I was blue when I came home to-night, but it inspirits a man to talk to such a girl.

She cannot falter, she is mine for ever, she guides me, holds me to work, inspirits me! she is secure from temptation, from threats, from everything nothing can touch, nothing move her, she is mine! I mean, an attested word, a form, that is a betrothal. For me to say my beloved and my betrothed! You hear that? Beloved! is a lonely word: betrothed! carries us joined up to death. Would you?
For when skill and art are found in the soul, they make the body correct and proper in its operations, and obedient to the motions of the spirit. Besides, wine inspirits some men, and raises a confidence and assurance in them, but not such as is haughty and odious, but pleasing and agreeable.
Both are benedictions from on high, and I have no patience with the foul churl who cannot enjoy the one with proper continence, and rise the better and more chivalrous from the society of the other. Wine well used is a good familiar creature kindles, soothes, and inspirits: the cup of wine warmed by the smile of woman gives courage to the soldier and genius to the minstrel.
Delighting in the tumult and in the struggles of life, he was equally a stranger to pity and to fear; his very courage was a sort of animal ferocity; not the noble impulse of a principle, such as inspirits the mind against the oppressor, in the cause of the oppressed; but a constitutional hardiness of nerve, that cannot feel, and that, therefore, cannot fear.
