"Thine own mild energy bestow, And deepen while thou bidst it flow, More calm our stream of love." Forced to resign herself to her holiday, Albinia did so with a good grace, in imitation of her brother, who assured her that he had brought a bottle of Lethe, and had therein drowned wife, children, and parish. Mr.
On either side of a throne of sulphur, from which issued the four infernal rivers of Lethe, Phlegethon, Cocytus, and Acheron, were ranged the Eumenides and Parcæ. Lachesis and her sisters turned up their noses when they observed Proserpine; but the Eumenides could not stifle their fury, in spite of the hints of their more subdued but not less malignant companions.
I sent Thornton to the nearest public-house for some water; before he returned, Glanville had recovered. "All all in vain," he said, slowly and unconsciously, "death is the only Lethe." He started when he saw me. I made him lean on my arm, and we walked on slowly.
We seemed to be ploughing aimlessly through the phantasmal sand-dunes of another world, faintly and by an accident apprehended. So may the shades on a ghostly liner, plunging down Lethe, have an hour's chance glimpse of the lights and lives of Piccadilly, to them uncertain and filmy mirages of the air.
We shall see this more easily if we consider forgetting to be a mode of dying. So the ancients called their River of Death, Lethe the River of Forgetfulness. They ought also to have called their River of Life, Mnemosyne the River of Memory. We should learn to tune death a good deal flatter than according to received notions. The Dislike of Death

And yet a few years since how delicious was that cut of roast goose to be had for a shilling at the eating-house near Golden Square. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Green, Mrs. Walker and all the other mistresses, are too vapid and stupid and humdrum for endurance. The theatres are dull as Lethe, and politics have lost their salt.
Things from the abyss of Time that float upwards into dreams sleeping things whose breath sometimes breaks the surface of our waking consciousness, like bubbles rising from the depths of Lethe these had become the sober certainties of Toller's life. The superincumbent waters had parted asunder, and the children of the deep were all astir.
Yet not always is it the result of sound judgment, or the demand of duty to marry one, because importuned to that step. He, who waits at your feet and implores acceptance, might not be so miserable after all, as he and you imagine, should you decline his overtures. In the cares of a busy world, he may find a draught of the waters of Lethe.
One cavern had, what looked like a mountain in that subterranean region, rising from the ground, with a stream running at its base. We crossed several rivers; besides the "Echo," one called the "Styx," the other the "Lethe." Our guide had brought a net, with which he caught some fish and crawfish.
