He was so ill that another man would have fallen and yet he went to The Pleiad and aboard the Spaniard's yacht, as you read.... I knew his courage before from the Hedda Gabler night but it was true, he didn't know me! The only result I know was that Mr. Framtree came to New York " It seemed to Beth that her humanity was lashed and flung and desecrated.... "But he did not know," she thought.

Near this, there was a Saxon monument of the date 870, with sculpture in relief upon it, the memorial of an Abbot Hedda, who was killed by the Danes when they destroyed the monastery that preceded the abbey and church.
Terry and I had a long talk about it, and about literature in general, so the result was that I became calm, quiet, and reflective as I love to be, but which I can be only very seldom. I have an almost continuous craving for something new and strange, like Hedda. But somehow reading and thinking about her calmed me.
With all her overaccentuated traits and the metallic quality of technique in the handling of her portrait, Undine Spragg is both a type and an individual she is the newest variation of Daisy Miller and compared with her brazen charmlessness the figures of Hedda Gabler and Mildred Lawson seem melting with tenderness, aglow with subtle charm and muffled exaltation.
In Hedda Gabler Ibsen returned, for the last time, but with concentrated vigor, to the prosaic ideal of his central period.

But there are also great numbers of people who find their own lives dull, and wish, like Hedda Gabler, to live a more thrilling life. For them there are published a few whole newspapers, and sections of others, devoted to the personal lives of a set of imaginary people, with whose gorgeous vices the reader can in his fancy safely identify himself.
