Which finds no natural outlet or relief In word, or sigh, or tear.
Page 49 - Two Gentlemen of Verona. IF there be anything thoroughly lovely in the human heart it is affection. All that makes hope elevated, or fear generous, belongs to the capacity of loving. For my own part, I do not wonder, in looking over the thousand creeds and sects of men, that so many religionists...
