His
eloquence
is
forcible
and
touching
;
nor
can
I
hear
him
,
when
he
relates
a
pathetic
incident
or
endeavours
to
move
the
passions
of
pity
or
love
,
without
tears
.
What
a
glorious
creature
must
he
have
been
in
the
days
of
his
prosperity
,
when
he
is
thus
noble
and
godlike
in
ruin
!
He
seems
to
feel
his
own
worth
and
the
greatness
of
his
fall
.
"
When
younger
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
believed
myself
destined
for
some
great
enterprise
.
My
feelings
are
profound
,
but
I
possessed
a
coolness
of
judgment
that
fitted
me
for
illustrious
achievements
.
This
sentiment
of
the
worth
of
my
nature
supported
me
when
others
would
have
been
oppressed
,
for
I
deemed
it
criminal
to
throw
away
in
useless
grief
those
talents
that
might
be
useful
to
my
fellow
creatures
.
When
I
reflected
on
the
work
I
had
completed
,
no
less
a
one
than
the
creation
of
a
sensitive
and
rational
animal
,
I
could
not
rank
myself
with
the
herd
of
common
projectors
.
But
this
thought
,
which
supported
me
in
the
commencement
of
my
career
,
now
serves
only
to
plunge
me
lower
in
the
dust
.
All
my
speculations
and
hopes
are
as
nothing
,
and
like
the
archangel
who
aspired
to
omnipotence
,
I
am
chained
in
an
eternal
hell
.
My
imagination
was
vivid
,
yet
my
powers
of
analysis
and
application
were
intense
;
by
the
union
of
these
qualities
I
conceived
the
idea
and
executed
the
creation
of
a
man
.
Even
now
I
can
not
recollect
without
passion
my
reveries
while
the
work
was
incomplete
.
I
trod
heaven
in
my
thoughts
,
now
exulting
in
my
powers
,
now
burning
with
the
idea
of
their
effects
.
From
my
infancy
I
was
imbued
with
high
hopes
and
a
lofty
ambition
;
but
how
am
I
sunk
!
Oh
!
My
friend
,
if
you
had
known
me
as
I
once
was
,
you
would
not
recognize
me
in
this
state
of
degradation
.
Despondency
rarely
visited
my
heart
;
a
high
destiny
seemed
to
bear
me
on
,
until
I
fell
,
never
,
never
again
to
rise
.
"
Must
I
then
lose
this
admirable
being
?
I
have
longed
for
a
friend
;
I
have
sought
one
who
would
sympathize
with
and
love
me
.
Behold
,
on
these
desert
seas
I
have
found
such
a
one
,
but
I
fear
I
have
gained
him
only
to
know
his
value
and
lose
him
.
I
would
reconcile
him
to
life
,
but
he
repulses
the
idea
.
"
I
thank
you
,
Walton
,
"
he
said
,
"
for
your
kind
intentions
towards
so
miserable
a
wretch
;
but
when
you
speak
of
new
ties
and
fresh
affections
,
think
you
that
any
can
replace
those
who
are
gone
?
Can
any
man
be
to
me
as
Clerval
was
,
or
any
woman
another
Elizabeth
?
Even
where
the
affections
are
not
strongly
moved
by
any
superior
excellence
,
the
companions
of
our
childhood
always
possess
a
certain
power
over
our
minds
which
hardly
any
later
friend
can
obtain
.
They
know
our
infantine
dispositions
,
which
,
however
they
may
be
afterwards
modified
,
are
never
eradicated
;
and
they
can
judge
of
our
actions
with
more
certain
conclusions
as
to
the
integrity
of
our
motives
.
A
sister
or
a
brother
can
never
,
unless
indeed
such
symptoms
have
been
shown
early
,
suspect
the
other
of
fraud
or
false
dealing
,
when
another
friend
,
however
strongly
he
may
be
attached
,
may
,
in
spite
of
himself
,
be
contemplated
with
suspicion
.
But
I
enjoyed
friends
,
dear
not
only
through
habit
and
association
,
but
from
their
own
merits
;
and
wherever
I
am
,
the
soothing
voice
of
my
Elizabeth
and
the
conversation
of
Clerval
will
be
ever
whispered
in
my
ear
.
They
are
dead
,
and
but
one
feeling
in
such
a
solitude
can
persuade
me
to
preserve
my
life
.
If
I
were
engaged
in
any
high
undertaking
or
design
,
fraught
with
extensive
utility
to
my
fellow
creatures
,
then
could
I
live
to
fulfil
it
.
But
such
is
not
my
destiny
;
I
must
pursue
and
destroy
the
being
to
whom
I
gave
existence
;
then
my
lot
on
earth
will
be
fulfilled
and
I
may
die
.
"
My
beloved
Sister
,
September
2nd
I
write
to
you
,
encompassed
by
peril
and
ignorant
whether
I
am
ever
doomed
to
see
again
dear
England
and
the
dearer
friends
that
inhabit
it
.
I
am
surrounded
by
mountains
of
ice
which
admit
of
no
escape
and
threaten
every
moment
to
crush
my
vessel
.
The
brave
fellows
whom
I
have
persuaded
to
be
my
companions
look
towards
me
for
aid
,
but
I
have
none
to
bestow
.
There
is
something
terribly
appalling
in
our
situation
,
yet
my
courage
and
hopes
do
not
desert
me
.
Yet
it
is
terrible
to
reflect
that
the
lives
of
all
these
men
are
endangered
through
me
.
If
we
are
lost
,
my
mad
schemes
are
the
cause
.
And
what
,
Margaret
,
will
be
the
state
of
your
mind
?
You
will
not
hear
of
my
destruction
,
and
you
will
anxiously
await
my
return
.
Years
will
pass
,
and
you
will
have
visitings
of
despair
and
yet
be
tortured
by
hope
.
Oh
!
My
beloved
sister
,
the
sickening
failing
of
your
heart-felt
expectations
is
,
in
prospect
,
more
terrible
to
me
than
my
own
death
.
But
you
have
a
husband
and
lovely
children
;
you
may
be
happy
.
Heaven
bless
you
and
make
you
so
!
My
unfortunate
guest
regards
me
with
the
tenderest
compassion
.
He
endeavours
to
fill
me
with
hope
and
talks
as
if
life
were
a
possession
which
he
valued
.
He
reminds
me
how
often
the
same
accidents
have
happened
to
other
navigators
who
have
attempted
this
sea
,
and
in
spite
of
myself
,
he
fills
me
with
cheerful
auguries
.
Even
the
sailors
feel
the
power
of
his
eloquence
;
when
he
speaks
,
they
no
longer
despair
;
he
rouses
their
energies
,
and
while
they
hear
his
voice
they
believe
these
vast
mountains
of
ice
are
mole-hills
which
will
vanish
before
the
resolutions
of
man
.
These
feelings
are
transitory
;
each
day
of
expectation
delayed
fills
them
with
fear
,
and
I
almost
dread
a
mutiny
caused
by
this
despair
.
