Other cases of monomaniac antipathy we might revive from our recollections of Coleridge, had we a sufficient motive. But in compensation, and by way of redressing the balance, he had many strange likings equally monomaniac and, unaccountably, he chose to exhibit his whimsical partialities by dressing up, as it were, in his own clothes, such a set of scarecrows as eye has not beheld.
Intellectual intercourse seemed as if it was her native atmosphere, from which she was habitually banished, to which she returned with an instinctive yearning and a new zest of life; yet was she called, even here, nor seemingly without justice, capricious and unsteady in her likings.
And right as beforetime the likings in the sensuality were fleshly, vain, and vicious, for the pain of the original sin; right so now they are made ghostly and clean, without bitterness and biting of conscience.
"Women should go about in every sort of variety of dress; each following her own style and her own likings, that each may learn to feel what sits well upon her and becomes her. And for a more weighty reason as well because it is appointed for them to stand alone all their lives, and work alone." "That seems to me to be a paradox," answered Charlotte.
These rules are equally good in rheumatic as in consumptive cases; you will therefore, I hope, strictly observe them; for I take it for granted that you are above the silly likings or dislikings, in which silly people indulge their tastes, at the expense of their health. I approve of your going to Venice, as much as I disapproved of your going to Switzerland.
My own likings in this respect had been so often trampled upon that I would not now deny myself the exercise of the right bought and paid for to take this sweet revenge. On the evenings of nine week-days and one Sunday, when I confined myself entirely to a description of a short visit to Palestine, I talked and my listener listened.
Ah! if I could have guessed how it would have turned out! Fool! to have sacrificed my likings and my money, for nearly twenty years, to the education of a thankless son! Was it for this I took the trouble to cure myself of drinking, to break with my friends, to become an example to the neighborhood? The jovial good fellow has made a goose of himself. Oh! if I had to begin again!
I have read him all through three times." The young man's countenance brightened. He had not expected to find so much taste for elegant literature in an old village deacon. "What are your favorites among his writings, Deacon? I suppose you have your particular likings, as the rest of us have." The Deacon was flattered by the question. "Well," he answered, "I can hardly tell you.

His not speaking to her was accepted. Her blood rather than recollection revived their exchanges during the dance at Baden, for assurance that their likings were one, their aims rapturously one; that he was she, she he, the two hearts making one soul. Could she give as much as he? It was hardly asked. If we feel we can give our breath of life, the strength of the feeling fully answers.
