[Zanoni by Edward Bulwer Lytton]@TWC D-Link bookZanoni CHAPTER 3 14/16
It is an utter sense of desolation.
I am plunged back into the common life; and I shudder coldly at the solitude. But I will obey thee, if thou wilt.
Shall I not see thee again beyond the grave? O how sweet it were to die! "Why do I not struggle from the web in which my will is thus entangled? Hast thou a right to dispose of me thus? Give me back--give me back the life I knew before I gave life itself away to thee.
Give me back the careless dreams of my youth,---my liberty of heart that sung aloud as it walked the earth.
Thou hast disenchanted me of everything that is not of thyself.
