- ...subjugation My words of passionate exhortation Had wrenched thy fainting spirit free; And writhing prone in thine affliction Thou didst recall with malediction The vice that had encompassed thee: And when thy slumbering conscience, fretting By recollection's torturing flame, Thou didst reveal the hideous setting Of thy life's current ere I came: When suddenly I saw thee sicken, And weeping, hide thine anguished face, Revolted, maddened, horror-stricken, At memories of foul disgrace.2.1 — Part 2 Chapter 1 (1% in)
- It seemed queer to me that of all my recollections of yesterday this tormented me, as it were, especially, as it were, quite separately.2.8 — Part 2 Chapter 8 (25% in)
