It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the Queen of France at Versailles; and surely never lighted on this world a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, glittering
like the morning star, full of life and splendor and joy.
Oh, what a revolution! Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fallen upon
her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor, and of cavaliers! I thought ten
thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look that threatened
her with insult.
But the age of chivalry is gone and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever. Never, never
more, shall we behold that generous loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified
obedience, that subordination of the heart, which kept alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of
an exalted freedom! It is gone, that sensibility of principle, that chastity of honor, which felt a
stain like a wound, which inspired courage while it mitigated ferocity, which ennobled whatever it
touched.

pls include the text ur reading

b. brooks wrote about the same type of neighborhood in which she grew up.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
