Seite 161 - Link'd and wedded to retirement, hating bus'ness, hating strife ?

Seite 241 - My great diversion is, in reposed posture, to turn my eyes upon the galleries, and bless myself to hear the happy savages laugh ; or when...
Seite 127 - Femmes ! femmes ! objets chers et funestes , que la nature orna pour notre supplice , qui punissez quand on vous brave , qui poursuivez quand on vous craint, dont la haine et l'amour sont également nuisibles, et qu'on ne peut ni rechercher ni fuir impunément!... Beauté, charme, attrait, sympathie, être ou chimère inconcevable, abîme de douleurs et de voluptés!
