A dispatch had just come in from Paris, grumbling at receiving no news from the country; and Gambetta was lamenting over the impossibility of arranging for simultaneous movements, owing to the breakdown of the pigeons, and the failure of the messengers; when I said: "'There were two young English fellows with us, in the Vosges they were on Cambriels' staff last, and are now prisoners who if they were here would, I believe, get in if anyone could.
Seeing this then, and noting well the faculties which you have, you should say, "Send now, O God, any trial that Thou wilt; lo, I have means and powers given me by Thee to acquit myself with honour through whatever comes to pass!" No; but there you sit, trembling for fear certain things should come to pass, and moaning and groaning and lamenting over what does come to pass.
One day, when Mr Brookes was out, and I was sitting behind the counter, Timothy sitting on it, and swinging his legs to and fro, both lamenting that we had no pocket-money, Timothy said, "Japhet, I've been puzzling my brains how we can get some money, and I've hit it at last; let you and I turn doctors; we won't send all the people away who come when Mr Brookes is out, but we'll physic them ourselves."
These were intended for the dear departed. Her uncle and a beloved cousin who bore some resemblance to Ephraim had been snatched away the night before by the plague which his people had brought upon Tanis. From the street which adjoined the garden-wall they heard the wails of women lamenting the dead or bearing a corpse to the tomb.
He was nobly stirred as a poet by a poet's death like Mr Swinburne by the death of Charles Baudelaire; but neither Shelley nor Mr Swinburne was lamenting dimidium animae suae, or mourning for a friend "Dear as the mother to the son, More than my brothers are to me." The passion of In Memoriam is personal, is acute, is life-long, and thus it differs from the other elegies.
Not that Mlle. Mathilde sent letters to me herself, but her Italian lady and gentlemen friends wrote for her, apparently in her name, loudly lamenting my unreasonable departure, wishing and demanding my return, telling me how she missed me, sometimes how angry she was. I was too poor to be able to return at once.
You are making a great deal of noise." Manabozho started off again with his doleful hubbub; but succeeded in jerking out between his big sobs, "I have n't got any father nor mother; I have n't;" and he set out again lamenting more boisterously than ever.
When we reached the church, which was to be our prison till morning, we found about an hundred and fifty people, chiefly old men, women, and children, dispersed in melancholy groupes, lamenting their situation, and imparting their fears to each other.
Then she began to weep, wept louder and louder every minute, and could not console herself at all. While she was thus lamenting some one called to her: "What is the matter with you, king's daughter? You weep so, that you would touch the heart of a stone." She looked around to see whence the voice came, and saw a frog stretching his thick ugly head out of the water.
He was of somewhat better heart: but now that he was laid quiet, and had no more for that present to trouble him about the way, the anguish of his loss fell upon him the keener, and he might not refrain him from lamenting his dear Maiden aloud, as one who deemed himself in the empty wilderness: and thus he lamented for her sweetness and her loveliness, and the kindness of her voice and her speech, and her mirth.
