Perhaps you will tell me you are not ambitious now; very possibly but ambitious you will be; and, believe me, there is no unhappier wretch than a man who is ambitious but disappointed, who has the desire for fame, but has lost the power to achieve it who longs for the goal, but will not, and cannot, put away his slippers to walk to it.
The greatness which the Emperor spoke about was no consolation to Josephine. She was unhappier beneath the gilded ceilings of the Tuileries than a peasant woman in a hovel. She besought her husband to let her join him in Poland, and wrote to him despairing letters. Napoleon answered from Osterode, March 27: "My dear, I am much pained by your letters.
At which her visitor expressed himself as greatly shocked and turned his eyes heavenward. "I remark with sorrow," he observed, "that you are not a true believer. Your faith is not of the simple kind." He could hardly have chosen an unhappier argument. Mrs. Barraclough's devotion was a byword in the parish. To be treated thus by a totally unknown clergyman was not to be tolerated.
The dark windows were shaking from the damp west wind. Big flakes of snow glistening in their whiteness, lay on the window frame, but at once disappeared, borne away by the wind. The savage music grew louder and louder. . . . After a long silence the little girl suddenly turned over, and said angrily, emphasizing each word: "Oh, goodness, goodness, how unhappy I am!

There are those that are born to sunlit paths, and there are those whom a beneficient Providence has supplied with lanterns of compensation, and the latter are not always the unhappier nor the less progressive. Never admitting to himself the possibility of the actual presence of the girl in the house as his wife, he yet peopled the rooms with her. He rose up in spirit before her entering a door.

He was perhaps unhappier than they, whose spirits, at all events, had long ceased to worry them, having oozed out from their bodies under the foot of Life: Now that Audrey Noel was lost to him, her loveliness and that indescribable quality which made her lovable, floated before him, the very torture-flowers of a beauty never to be grasped yet, that he could grasp, 'if he only would!
