עמוד 224 - Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
עמוד 36 - I begin to complain, then you are angry, and there is something in your looks so awful that it strikes me dumb. Oh ! that you may have but so much regard for me left that this complaint may touch your soul with pity. I say as little as ever I can ; did you but know what I thought, I am sure it would move you to forgive me ; and believe I cannot help telling you this and live.
עמוד 153 - Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Plays such fantastic tricks before high Heaven As make the angels weep.
עמוד 115 - On Wednesday night we came to the Adelphi, — to this house ! She bore it with great tranquillity ; but what was my surprise to see her go alone into the chamber and bed, in which he had died that day fortnight. She had a delight in it beyond expression.

עמוד 304 - I am charmed with Mr. Wordsworth, whose kindness to me has quite a soothing influence over my spirits. Oh ! what relief, what blessing there is in the feeling of admiration, when it can be freely poured forth ! ' There is a daily beauty in his life,' which is in such lovely harmony with his poetry, that I am thankful to have witnessed and felt it.
עמוד 360 - ... and I am sure I said it with my whole heart, for it made me very happy to see such a woman, so large and so developed a character, and everything that is good in it so really good.
