Humour, which he has very much above, but meerly from the true Respect he had for 'em, and a Sense of that imminent Danger they were in, which his piercing Judgment and long
Experience made him more sensible of, and his Courage and Vertue more concerned at, than others ; not only those who sat

Nolte - 1979 - [What Fascism Is Not- Thoughts on the Deflation of a Concept]- Comment |
|
A bungler even in its disgusting trade,
And botching, patching, leaving still behind
Something of which its masters are afraid,
States to be curbed and thoughts to be confined,
Conspiracy or congress to be made,
Cobbling
at manacles for all mankind,
A tinkering slave-maker, who mends old chains,
With God and man's abhorrence for its gains.

As toilsome I wander'd Virginia's woods,
To the music of rustling leaves kick'd by my feet, (for 'twas autumn,)
I mark'd at the foot of a tree the grave of a soldier;
Mortally
wounded he and buried on the retreat, (easily all could
understand,)
The halt of a mid-day hour, when up!

design; and their mother's
concurrence
being readily gained, every
thing relative to their return was arranged as far as it could be;--and
Marianne found some relief in drawing up a statement of the hours that
were yet to divide her from Barton.

the dying man's wandering fancy returns to his Polish

foreign to Krasinski's usual style, and more akin to the
