Additional quotes by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

When life leaps in the veins, when it beats in the heart,
When it thrills as it fills every animate part,
Where lurks it? How works it?.. we scarcely detect it.

As pure as a pearl,
And as perfect: a noble and innocent girl.

And the jasmin-flower in her fair young breast:
(O the faint, sweet smell of that jasmin-flower!)
And the one bird singing alone in his nest:
And the one star over the tower.
