| gptkbp:notableQuote |
“I felt a shuddering horror at the thought of the grave.”
“The most unutterable of all human feelings is that of the loss of a loved one.” “I had a desire to see her, to touch her, to feel her.” “I had so much of my old feeling left, as to be at first grieved by this evident dislike on the part of a creature whom I had been taught to regard as a sister.” “I_had_never_before_thought_of_the_hair_of_Berenice_as_a_thing_of_beauty.” |
