He complains that existence was one round of religious exercises; that, in order to live in peace, it was necessary to pass half the day in devotion or in the outward show of devotion ; that, if he tried to dissipate his melancholy by breathing the fresh air of that noble terrace which looks down on...
الصفحة 177 - I was the happiest man on earth ; and I am the most miserable. She had no fault ; none : you knew her well : but you could not know, nobody but myself could know, her goodness.
