Quotes
“They may come, will they. I am not averse. Yet know I am but the ineffectual Shade Of her the Travailler, herself a thrall To It; in all her labourings curbed and kinged!”
Part first “I hear confused and simmering sounds without, Like those which thrill the hives at evenfall When swarming pends.”
Part first “The crossing streams of fugitives strike panic into each other, and the tumult increases with the thickening darkness till night renders the scene invisible, and nothing remains but a confused diminishing noise, and fitful lights here and there.”
