That particular spot, which she happens to plant with some peculiar variety of flowers, produces them of admirable splendor, beauty, and perfume ; and she delights, with an indescribable impulse, to wear them in her bosom, and scent her chamber with them.
Pàgina 36 - Our body to be possessed by two different spirits ; so that half of the visage shall express one mood, and the other half another.
Pàgina 20 - ... upon a saltspring. To have one event operate in several places, — as, for example, if a man's head were to be, cut off in one town, men's heads to drop off in several towns. Follow out the fantasy of a man taking his life by instalments, instead of at one payment, — say ten years of life alternately with ten years of suspended animation.
