Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scenes From the Life, Vol. 2 of 2 For my own part, I have never been the disciple of so cold a philosophy; and, though the natural ardour of my temper, and sociality of my disposition, have led me, from time to time, to form intimacies, both close and tender, I have ever looked upon the fate, which compelled me to break them off, as one of the greatest curses of my profession. The reader may, perhaps, smile, when I con fess that, notwithstanding the seaman´s proverbial levity, I have never parted from the friend whom I esteemed, or the girl whom I loved, with out experiencing a bitter pang. He may call it romantic, if he will, and if it be romantic, I glory in the epithet; I glory in the reflection, that love and friendship have never been with me, the conveniences of an hour; that the sacred links have never been severed, but with pain; that I never looked a last adieu with callous indifference; and that, in the language of the poet, I never spoke the world farewell, But with an utterance faint and broken; An earth-sick yearning for the time When it shall never more be spoken!
