Stran 142 - ... in a dark cavern. Few secrets can escape an investigator, who has opportunity and license to undertake such a quest, and skill to follow it up. A man burdened .with a secret should especially avoid the intimacy of his physician. If the latter possess native sagacity, and a nameless something more, — let us call it intuition; if he show no intrusive egotism, nor disagreeably prominent characteristics of his own; if he have the power, which must be born with him, to bring his mind into such affinity...
Stran 293 - Then tell me what thou seest ? " " Hush, Hester, hush ! " said he, with tremulous solemnity. " The law we broke ! — the sin here so awfully revealed ! — let these alone be in thy thoughts ! I fear ! I fear ! It may be that, when we forgot our God, — when we violated our reverence each for the other's soul, — it was thenceforth vain to hope that we could meet hereafter, in an everlasting and pure reunion.
Stran 179 - That is imaginative, impressive, poetic; but when, almost immediately afterwards, the author goes on to say that "the minister looking upward to the zenith, beheld there the appearance of an immense letter— the letter A— marked out in lines of dull red light...
Stran 220 - There is no substance in it ! It is cold and dead, and can do nothing for me ! Of penance, I have had enough ! Of penitence, there has been none! Else, I should long ago have thrown off these garments of mock holiness, and have shown myself to mankind as they will see me at the judgment-seat.
Stran 248 - No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
Stran 64 - ... behold her dimmed and obscured by a disastrous cloud, were astonished, and even startled, to perceive how her beauty shone out and made a halo of the misfortune and ignominy in which she was enveloped. It may be true that, to a sensitive observer, there was something exquisitely painful in it. Her attire, which, indeed, she had wrought for the occasion, in prison, and had modelled much after her own fancy, seemed to express the attitude of her spirit, the desperate recklessness of her mood, by...
Stran 66 - ... effectual an agent, in the promotion of good citizenship, as ever was the guillotine among the terrorists of France. It was, in short, the platform of the pillory; and above it rose the framework of that instrument of discipline, so fashioned as to confine the human head in its tight grasp, and thus holding it up to the public gaze. The very ideal of ignominy was embodied and made manifest in this contrivance of wood and iron.
Stran 289 - He again extended his hand to the woman of the scarlet letter. " Hester Prynne," cried he with a piercing earnestness, " in the name of Him, so terrible and so merciful, who gives me grace at this last moment to do what, for my own heavy sin and miserable agony, I withheld myself from doing seven years ago, come hither now and twine thy strength about me ! Thy strength, Hester ; but let it be guided by the will which God hath granted me ! This wretched and wronged old man is opposing it with all...
Stran 61 - ... in the atmosphere of New England. There was, moreover, a boldness and rotundity of speech among these matrons, as most of them seemed to be, that would startle us at the present day, whether in respect to its purport or its volume of tone.
