The emperor, who had been walking fast, suddenly stopped, and gazed with rapture upon the scene.

A narrative of equal pathos, and once equally celebrated, is that of the village-girl who receives back her sailor-lover from his last voyage, only to watch over his dying hours. too long to quote in full, and, as with Crabbe's method generally, not admitting of being fairly represented by extracts.
