"My longing bred of love with mine unease for ever grows; * Nor against all the wrongs of time one succourer arose: When Pleiads and the Fishes show in sky the rise I watch, * As worshipper within whose breast a pious burning glows: For Star o' Morn I speer until at last when it is seen, * I'm madded with my passion and my fancy's woes and throes: I swear by you that never from your love have I been loosed; * Naught am I save a watcher who of slumber nothing knows!
Addison taught himself, as his hero "taught the doubtful battle," "where to rage." And in the later years of the same literary century Johnson himself summoned the lapsed and alien and reluctant fury. Take such a word as "madded" "the madded land"; there indeed is a word created for the noble rage, as the eighteenth century understood it.
'Quoth they 'Thou rav'st on him thou lov'st': quoth I, * 'The sweets of love are only for th' insane! Love never maketh Time his friend befriend; * Only the Jinn-struck wight such boon can gain: Well! yes, I'm mad: bring him who madded me * And, if he cure m: madness, blame restrain!"
But it had one good effect. When that man see she wuz there, he waded off, way out of sight of the project, and wouldn't mention it it madded him so to be on the same side of the fence she wuz so that it seemed to happen all for the best. Why, I took her as a dispensation from the first, and drawed all sorts of morels from her, and sights of 'em sights. But oh, it wuz tuff on me, fearful tuff.
"I wish you wouldn't use such words," she said tremulously. It meant much for Milly to tremble. "It's like calling that dreadful influenza the flu." Raven was reminded of the old man down the road who forbade secular talk in the household during a thunder shower. It "madded" the Almighty. You might be struck. "I won't," he said, the more merciful of her because she was on the point of going.
We didn't make no move in public, but we kinder met round to each other's housen, sort o' private like, and talked, and talked, and prayed we all knew that wuzn't aginst the church rules, so we jest rastled in prayer, for help to pay our honest debts, and keep the Methodist meetin' house from disgrace, for the men wuz that worked up and madded, that they didn't seem to care whether the meetin' house come to nothin' or not.
She madded me first: what else when she wouldn't believe a word I said? She'd ha' sworn on the gospel book, we sent the parcel up the spout. But she'll believe you, an' give you something, and then we'll have a chop! Mat. How can you expect that, Sue, when the work's lost? Sus. Never mind; you go and see. Mat. I shan't take it, Susan. I couldn't. Sus. Stuff and nonsense!
"Oh, Lord! You should not lose your temper with an Indian!" I said, vexed at his indiscretion. "I know it. I'll not interfere with your tame wolves, Loskiel. But Hanierri madded me; and now he's told Dominie Kirkland's praying Indians, and not one o' them will stir from Tioga the chicken-hearted knaves! What do you think of that, Loskiel?" "I am sorry.
Then my turn will come. It is a question of time only a question of time!" So brooded Elizabeth in her heart, madded with malicious envy and passionate jealousy. She loved this man, Owen Davies, as much as she could love anybody; at the least, she dearly loved the wealth and station of which he was the visible centre, and she hated the sister whom he desired.
She never writ a word back, and at last she wouldn't read his letters and sent 'em back onopened. That madded him and he went on from bad to worse, swung right out into wickedness.
