“The world ridicules a passion which it seldom feels; its scenes, and its interests, distract the mind, deprave the taste, corrupt the heart, and love cannot exist in a heart that has lost the meek dignity of innocence.” WorldFeelsMindHeartPassionLostInterestTasteSceneDignityAnd LoveInnocenceRidiculeMeekHearts And Love Book:The Mysteries of Udolfo: A Romance Interspersed with Some Pieces of Poetry Source: The Mysteries of Udolfo: A Romance Interspersed with Some Pieces of Poetry
“I ought not to doubt the steadiness of your affection. Yet such is the inconsistency of real love, that it is always awake to suspicion, however unreasonable; always requiring new assurances from the object of its interest, and thus it is, that i always feel revived, as by a new convinction, when your words tell me I am dear to you; and wanting these, I relapse into doubt and often into despondency.” FeelsRealInterestDoubtObjectsOughtDearAffectionAwakeReal LoveSuspicionAssuranceUnreasonableInconsistencyRelapseDespondencySteadiness Book:Delphi Complete Works of Ann Radcliffe (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Ann Radcliffe (Illustrated)
