A tragic comedian:
that is, a grand pretender, a self-deceiver
Above all things I detest
the writing for money
At the age of forty,
men that love love rootedly
Barriers are for those
who cannot fly
Be good and dull, and
please everybody
Beginning to have a
movement to kiss the whip
Centres of polished
barbarism known as aristocratic societies
Clotilde fenced, which
is half a confession
Comparisons will thrust
themselves on minds disordered
Compromise is virtual
death
Conservative, whose
astounded state paralyzes his wrath
Creatures that wait
for circumstances to bring the change
Dignitary, and he passed
under the bondage of that position
Dissent rings out finely,
and approval is a feeble murmur
Do you judge of heroes
as of lesser men?
Empanelled to deliver
verdicts upon the ways of women
Fantastical
Finishing touches to
the negligence
Giant Vanity urged Giant
Energy to make use of Giant Duplicity
Gone to pieces with
an injured lover’s babble
Gradations appear to
be unknown to you
He had to go, he must,
he has to be always going
He stormed her and consented
to be beaten
Hesitating strangeness
that sometimes gathers during absences
His violent earnestness,
his imperial self-confidence
His apparent cynicism
is sheer irritability
Hosts of men are of
the simple order of the comic
I give my self, I do
not sell
I have learnt as much
from light literature as from heavy
I would wait till he
flung you off, and kneel to you
If you have this creative
soul, be the slave of your creature
Imagination she has,
for a source of strength in the future days
Looking on him was listening
Love the difficulty
better than the woman
Men in love are children
with their mistresses
Metaphysician’s
treatise on Nature: a torch to see the sunrise
Music in Italy?
Amorous and martial, brainless and monotonous
Night has little mercy
for the self-reproachful
Not much esteem for
non-professional actresses
Not in a situation that
could bear of her blaming herself
O for yesterday!
Pact between cowardice
and comfort under the title of expediency
Philosophy skimmed,
and realistic romances deep-sounded
Polished barbarism
Professional widows
Providence and her parents
were not forgiven
Scorned him for listening
to the hesitations (hers)
Self-consoled when they
are not self-justified
She ran through delusion
and delusion, exhausting each
She felt in him a maker
of facts
Strength in love is
the sole sincerity
The worst of omens is
delay
The way is clear:
we have only to take the step
The brainless in Art
and in Statecraft
