That country which demands to be loved as no other country has ever been loved, with the mournful affection one bears to the unforgotten dead and with the unextinguishable fire of a hopeless passion which only a living, breathing, warm ideal can kindle in our breasts for our pride, for our weariness, for our exultation, for our undoing.

Towards the middle of the plain, there lay the bodies of several men who had fallen in the very act of grappling with the enemy; and there were seen countenances which still bore the stern expression of unextinguishable hate and defiance, hands which clasped the hilt of the broken falchion, or strove in vain to pluck the deadly arrow from the wound.
Whence arises the desire of honor, but from man's necessity of excelling, in other words, of improving his faculties for the benefit of others; though, unconscious of that consequence, man only strives for their praise?

The wastes of his weary brain were haunted by shadowy images now images of wealth and fame revolving obsequiously round his unextinguishable gift of noble and lofty expression. My Intended, my station, my career, my ideas these were the subjects for the occasional utterances of elevated sentiments.
He talked of his youth surrounded by the fury of fanaticism and war, of battles on the hills, of advances through the forests, of men's unswerving piety, of their unextinguishable hate. Not a single wandering cloud obscured the gentle splendour of the rectangular patch of starlight framed in the opaque blackness of the hut.
Like fire, it serves those who know its uses to the noblest ends, but in the hands of children and the people, the mob, can never ripen into manhood it is a destroying brand, raging and unextinguishable, devouring all around it, and destroying all that has been built and beautified by the past.
