Two years have elapsed during which Our enemies have ceaselessly and assiduously contrived to exterminate Us, whereunto all witness. Nevertheless, none amongst the faithful hath risen to render Us any assistance, nor did any one feel inclined to help in Our deliverance. Nay, instead of assisting Us, what showers of continuous sorrows, their words and deeds have caused to rain upon Our soul!
No longer does it live, but neither do the men, the ships, the navies that lately sailed upon the bosom of the waters. 'Mid all that I have seen and known, peoples and thrones, loves, glories, sorrows, virtues what have I ever loved? Nothing except the mantling shroud that covers me! My horse! ah, yes! my horse! I love thee too!
Do you want to catch flies? or did you never see a chap half-seas-over before?" I replied, "That I had never been at sea in my life, but that I was going." "Well, then, you're like a young bear, all your sorrows to come that's all, my hearty," replied he. "When you get on board, you'll find monkey's allowance more kicks than half-pence.

I am drifting down the current of life aimless, hopeless, useless! What shall I do with my future?

I am fast losing sympathy for the sorrows of others, swallowed up in self, oblivious of the noble aspirations of promise.
The great white man whom they all knew did not want them. No one wanted them. Evil would follow in their footsteps. They were such men as are sent by rulers to examine the aspects of far-off countries and talk of peace and make treaties. Such is the beginning of great sorrows.
"It must be very pleasant when you're away to know that there is somebody at home counting the minutes until your return." Mr. Chalk permitted himself one brief wondering glance in the speaker's direction, and then gazed out of window. "There's no companion like a wife," continued the captain. "Nobody else can quite share your joys and sorrows as she can.
It has taken six months to make; no one else will have any stuff like it! Bijou is very fond of me; I give her tidbits and my old gowns. And I send orders for bread and meat and wood to the family, who would break the shin-bones of the first comer if I bid them. I try to do a little good. Ah! I know what I endured from hunger myself! Bijou has confided to me all her little sorrows.
A short time ago Perrine would not have had any scruples and she would have quickly emptied the nest, without a thought, but the sorrows that she had experienced had made her very thoughtful for the griefs of others; in this same manner her love for Palikare had made her feel an affection for all animals that she had not known in her early childhood.
