It is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done.
Is there any noise in the streets?
Neither of them for a single moment released the other’s eyes.
We don’t know what may happen.
Of all the people upon earth, you least expected to see me?
Tell the Wind and the Fire where to stop; not me!
Shall I do well, in the mean time, to show myself?
I intend to try. I will not rest a moment.
All things have worked together as they have fallen out.
Let her embrace him then; it is but a moment.
If I might embrace him once!
If I might touch him!
Not a word was spoken.
These scraps of paper fail me.
I had kept the matter a profound secret.
There was life, and no more.
The things that you see here, are things to be seen, and not spoken of.
It was as if the wind and rain had lulled at last, after a long and fearful storm.
Frantic acclamations were again raised.
Listen to what is to follow. In the meanwhile, be silent!
I want no more words.
Come into the dark room here, and let us have one final word alone.
You told me you had a proposal; what is it?
I have thoroughly made up my mind about it.
You have a face to be remembered, and I remember faces well.
Go your ways as soon as possible, and let me go mine. I am busy. I am an official.

What a disordered state you are in!
And all of us have like wonders hidden in our breasts, only needing circumstances to evoke them.
There were hurried words of farewell and kindness.
Men and women danced together, women danced together, men danced together.
They danced to the popular Revolution song.
There was no other music than their own singing.
Ah! But it’s not my business.
It was the dark and dirty corner of a small winding street.
She did not greatly alter in appearance.
We have borne this a long time.
I have seen them. We may go.
I have seen you somewhere.
He closed the lattice again with a fluttering heart.
It may be too late, I don’t know, but let it not be a minute later!
I know you are true.
Will you answer me a single question?
He could not have felt his freedom more completely gone.
I must say again, nonsense, nonsense!
A moment of profound silence followed.
People are so unreasonable!
But, I am sure that he is capable of good things, gentle things, even magnanimous things.
I wish we might be friends.
