Yes, jealous of me--madly jealous you, and all of you.--I will invent such plans as shall confound every one of you.--How the light breaks in!--What great ideas dawn upon my mind --What giant-projects formed in this creative brain?--Curs'd lethargy of the soul!

Does this image of thy lover inspire thee with horror? Then paint him, Amelia, in your own imagination--the lovely, the divine, the angelic Charles! Go! enjoy the ambrosia of his lips, --inhale his balmy breath!
(Amelia hides her face with her hands.)
Oh extacy! What rapture in those embraces!--But is it not most unjust --nay cruel, to condemn a man because he is so unfortunate as to be the victim of disease? May not a great soul inhabit a foul carcase?
(With malignant irony.)
May not the beauties of the mind dwell in a tainted body--or the soft voice of love issue from the lips of corruption?-- True indeed, if the poison of debauchery should taint the soul as well as the body; if impurity and virtue were inconsistent, as a withered rose loses its perfume, then--",,15452,•Cross-reference: multiple translations of Schiller in HDIS,"""But is it not most unjust --nay cruel, to condemn a man because he is so unfortunate as to be the victim of disease?

Is the suit now decided?--is your conscience easy?

Completely so--I wish only that the first interview were over. I feel the same shame in appearing before her whom I have injured, as a thief before the man he has robbed.

Be calm!--Wilhelmina's heart is your judge.

And then--Wherefore should I not confess it? prejudices are like old Wounds! when the weather changes they still smart.--I--I cannot help feeling somewhat ashamed when I think that all must be known to my daughter--to the count--to all my domestics.

None! You cannot wash my face white, or I his conscience. This is over. No floods of tears can efface a letter in the book of destiny. Necessity produces tranquillity. I am tranquil.--My future days were in a mist, I shuddered; the mist dispersed and I smiled, for Death walked forth from the cloud.
