Walter Scott Quotes
It Was Near Evening When He Approached The Village Of Tully-Veolan, With Feelings And Sentiments How Different From Those Which Attended His First Entrance. Then Life Was So New To Him That A Dull Or Disagreeable Day Was One Of The Greatest Misfortunes Which His Imagination Anticipated, And It Seemed To Him That His Time Ought Only To Be Consecrated To Elegant Or Amusing Study, And Relieved By Lively Society Or Youthful Frolic. Now, How Changed, How Saddened, Yet How Elevated Was His Character, Within The Course Of A Very Few Months! Danger And Misfortune Are Rapid, Though Severe Teachers. 'A Sadder And A Wiser Man,' He Felt, In Internal Confidence And Mental Dignity, A Compensation For The Gay Dreams Which In His Case Experience Had So Rapidly Dissolved.
