She can only express the darker passions, and grief in its most desolate aspects.

Nature has not gifted her with those softer and more flowery attributes that lend to pathos its utmost tenderness.

Her noblest aspect is when sometimes she expresses truth in some severe shape, and rises, simple and austere, above the mixed elements around her.

On the dark side, she is very great in hatred and revenge.
