If it had not been for the 'little rustic's' attractions, perhaps he might have made strong demonstrations against the House Beautiful. Little did Miss Faithfull know the real cause of her receiving or retaining her lodgers. For better far than passion's glow, Or aught of worldly choice, To listen His own will to know, And, listening, hear his voice. The Angel of Marriage REV. I. WILLIAMS.
"Bid thou thy phantom distance keep * And quit this couch the while I sleep; So I may rest and quench the flames * Through all my body rageful creep, In love-sick one, whom passion's palms * Roll o'er the bed where grief I weep; How 'tis with me thou wottest well; * All but thy union hold I cheap!" Quoth the Caliph, "This also is stolen"; and quoth she, "Nay, 'tis my very own."
And as I looked across the House on May 8th, with every seat occupied with galleries crowded with that air of tense excitement which betokens the solemn and portentous occasion there rose to my brain something of the exaltation of passion's first hour.
Yet, in the same breath, the Devil whispered a plausible reminder that men as good as he had taken the risk time after time; that De Quincey himself had followed passion's dictates seemingly without a twinge of self-reproach. But Lenox was too single-minded to take shelter behind the failures of others. For him the principle was all.
And may ye learn, ye pitiless, How heavy is the rod That brings on human cruelty The chastisement of God. Ye who profess in word and deed The path of truth to hold Are viler than the nightly wolves That waste the quiet fold." So forth he rode, that Moorish knight, Consumed by passion's flame, Scorned and repulsed by Zaida, The lovely Moorish dame.
For a moment she had seemed to speak with passion, but, before he could notice the transition, he found her only trying on passion's garments. "No, I don't," she answered slowly. "I couldn't bear it. You know I'm not free! But do you want to give me up? You've had a good deal of me since August and now you've had three days without me. D'you want to marry me?"
The changes in life were to be explained by what the crystallised posture of life might be at a single instant. The arrow's flight was to be deduced from its instantaneous position. A passion's history was to be the history of what would have been its expression if it had had no history at all.
This is not "Much ado about nothing"; I could not be mistaken in her voice, and such tones, so soft, so insinuating; and, to say the truth, the accents from below were in passion's tenderest cadence too, but of the sense I can say nothing.
These he drives with passion's fiery scourge, those he gently leads by maternal longings, and thus is the Law of Life fulfilled, the living tide runs ever on from age to age, while divine Modesty preserves her name and habitation in the earth.
Indeed although he was a man in whom ambition held place of love, yet he loved her and would have made her his for passion's sake as well as for the power that he hoped to wield through her means.
