الصفحة 795 - ... universal numbness and dumbness seemed to pervade the solitude. I suppose in scarcely any other part of the world is this appearance of deadness so strikingly exhibited. On the stillest summer day in England, there is always perceptible an undertone of life thrilling through the atmosphere; and though no breeze should stir a single leaf, yet — in default of motion — there is always a sense of growth; but here not so much as a blade of grass was to be seen, on the sides of the bald excoriated...
الصفحة 706 - French, English, Italian, Hungarian ; and, what is worse, there are ten of these languages spoken in my own family. My grooms are Arabs ; my footmen, French, English, and Germans ; my nurse an Armenian ; my housemaids Russians ; half a dozen other servants, Greeks ; my steward, an Italian ; my...
