innashpitzberg27 января 2014 г.The expression of the eyes of Ligeia! How for long hours have I pondered upon it! How have I, through the whole of a midsummer night, struggled to fathom it! What was it -- that something more profound than the well of Democritus -- which lay far within the pupils of my beloved? What was it? I was possessed with a passion to discover.
Those eyes! those large, those shining, those divine orbs! they became to me twin stars of Leda, and I to them devoutest of astrologers.71K
Zakonnick24 января 2014 г.Нет в природе другой столь демонически нетерпеливой страсти, как страсть, обуревающая человека, который, трепеща на краю пропасти, вот так смакует падение туда.

Ksy-Nya29 декабря 2013 г.Этот старик, - произнес я наконец, - прообраз и воплощение тягчайших преступлений. Он не может остаться наедине с самим собой. Это человек толпы. Бесполезно следовать за ним, ибо я все равно ничего не узнаю ни о нем, ни об его деяниях. Сердце самого закоренелого злодея в мире - книга более гнусная, нежели "Hortulus Animae..." [Садик души..." (лат.).], и, быть может, одно из величайших благодеяний господа состоит в том, что она "не позволяет себя прочесть

LeBlank16 октября 2013 г.Они впали в грубую, хоть и весьма распространенную ошибку, смешав необычайное с необъяснимым. А ведь именно отклонение от простого и обычного освещает дорогу разуму в поисках истины.

I felt particularly puzzled, and when a man is particularly puzzled he must knit his brows and look savage, or else he is pretty sure to look like a fool.

Before I had time to make any remark, however, upon so singular a circumstance, he interrupted me with a second «ahem!».
To this observation I was not immediately prepared to reply. The fact is, remarks of this laconic nature are nearly unanswerable.7461 - innashpitzberg16 апреля 2013 г.
He insisted upon leaping the stile, and said he could cut a pigeon-wing over it in the air. Now this, conscientiously speaking, I did not think he could do. The best pigeon-winger over all kinds of style was my friend Mr. Carlyle, and as I knew he could not do it, I would not believe that it could be done by Toby Dammit.

The truth is, there was something in the air with which Mr. Dammit was wont to give utterance to his offensive expression – something in his manner of enunciation – which at first interested, and afterwards made me very uneasy – something which, for want of a more definite term at present, I must be permitted to call queer; but which Mr. Coleridge would have called mystical, Mr. Kant pantheistical, Mr. Carlyle twistical, and Mr. Emerson hyperquizzitistical.

The fact is that his precocity in vice was awful. At five months of age he used to get into such passions that he was unable to articulate. At six months, I caught him gnawing a pack of cards. At seven months he was in the constant habit of catching and kissing the female babies. At eight months he peremptorily refused to put his signature to the Temperance pledge. Thus he went on increasing in iniquity, month after month, until, at the close of the first year, he not only insisted upon wearing moustaches, but had contracted a propensity for cursing and swearing, and for backing his assertions by bets.

In short, it has been shown that no man can sit down to write without a very profound design. Thus to authors in general much trouble is spared. A novelist, for example, need have no care of his moral. It is there – that is to say, it is somewhere – and the moral and the critics can take care of themselves. When the proper time arrives, all that the gentleman intended, and all that he did not intend, will be brought to light,
