Página 45 - Of abdicating power in it : she owned She liked a woman to be womanly, And English women, she thanked God and sighed (Some people always sigh in thanking God), Were models to the universe.
Página 35 - I confess that I dream of the day when an English statesman shall arise with a heart too large for England ; having courage in the face of his countrymen to assert of some suggested policy, — " This is good for your trade ; this is necessary for your domination : but it will vex a people hard by ; it will hurt a people farther off; it will profit nothing to the general humanity : therefore, away with it ! — it is not for you or for me.
