Paul Bourget


Charitable as a whole convent.	1
Clashing in a frenzy as of a resounding battle.	2
His vulture nature had already linked itself to this poor little soul as a spider binds a fluttering insect in its web, which the little thing tries vainly to break.	3
Stretch away, like the perspective of a dream.	4
Uprise like the islands of the Cyclades as seen from the mountains of Negroponte.	5
