ETEXT editor’s bookmarks for the red lily, entire:
A woman is frank when
she does not lie uselessly
A hero must be human.
Napoleon was human
Anti-Semitism is making
fearful progress everywhere
Brilliancy of a fortune
too new
Curious to know her
face of that day
Disappointed her to
escape the danger she had feared
Do you think that people
have not talked about us?
Does not wish one to
treat it with either timidity or brutality
Does one ever possess
what one loves?
Each had regained freedom,
but he did not like to be alone
Each was moved with
self-pity
Everybody knows about
that
Fringe which makes an
unlovely border to the city
Gave value to her affability
by not squandering it
He could not imagine
that often words are the same as actions
He studied until the
last moment
He is not intelligent
enough to doubt
He does not bear ill-will
to those whom he persecutes
He knew now the divine
malady of love
Her husband had become
quite bearable
His habit of pleasing
had prolonged his youth
(Housemaid) is trained
to respect my disorder
I love myself because
you love me
I can forget you only
when I am with you
I wished to spoil our
past
I feel in them (churches)
the grandeur of nothingness
I have to pay for the
happiness you give me
I gave myself to him
because he loved me
I haven’t a taste,
I have tastes
I have known things
which I know no more
I do not desire your
friendship
Ideas they think superior
to love—faith, habits, interests
Immobility of time
Impatient at praise
which was not destined for himself
Incapable of conceiving
that one might talk without an object
It was torture for her
not to be able to rejoin him
It is an error to be
in the right too soon
It was too late:
she did not wish to win
Jealous without having
the right to be jealous
Kissses and caresses
are the effort of a delightful despair
Knew that life is not
worth so much anxiety nor so much hope
Laughing in every wrinkle
of his face
Learn to live without
desire
Let us give to men irony
and pity as witnesses and judges
Life as a whole is too
vast and too remote
Life is made up of just
such trifles
Life is not a great
thing
Little that we can do
when we are powerful
Love is a soft and terrible
force, more powerful than beauty
Love was only a brief
intoxication
Lovers never separate
kindly
Made life give all it
could yield
Magnificent air of those
beggars of whom small towns are proud
Miserable beings who
contribute to the grandeur of the past
