Ein starker Geist in einem zarten Leib / Ein zwitter zwischen Mann und Weib, / Gleich ungeschickt zum Herrschen und zum Lieben, / Ein kind mit eines Riesen Waffen / Ein Mittelding von Weisen und von Affen! / SCHILLER. -- _Die Berühmte Frau._
Marmaduke and Violet, "so justly formed to meet by nature," have not, it may be supposed, remained insensible to each other's charms. The elopement of Blanche gave him several opportunities of making eloquent remarks on the superiority of affection -- the riches of the heart -- to mere worldly wealth; and to utter several stinging sarcasms on those who gave up the worship of a loving heart, for the trumpery advantages of an establishment and a position.
