Appreciating

Beauty


10/33

lizabeth through Victors eyesHer eyes were hazel and expressive of

mildness. Her hair was of a rich dark auburn,her complexion fair, and her figure slight and

graceful.(Shelley,53)

Her hazel eyes although as lively as birds;possessed an attractive softness. Her figure was

light and airy; (Shelley, 20)

Safie through the monsters eyesI beheld a continence of angelic beauty and expression.Her hair of a shiny raven black and curiously braded. Hereyes were dark but gentle, although animated;

(Shelley, 80)

her complexion wondrously fair,each cheek tinged with a lovely

pink.(Shelley,81)


11/33

Is this love?

Gentle manners of the girl enticed my love. Ifelt sensations of a particular and overpowering

nature.

(Shelley, 75)

I loved to tend on her, as Ishould on a favorite animal; and

I never saw so much grace both of

person and mind united to solittle pretension.

(Shelley, 20)

the cottagers, whose story excited in

me such various feelings of indignation,

delight, and wonder, but which all

terminated in additional love andreverence for my protectors

(Shelley, 84)

I had admired theperfect forms of mycottagers-their grace,beauty, and delicate

complexions

(Shelley, 78)

I looked upon them as

superior beings who would bethe arbiters of my future

destiny(Shelley, 79)


14/33

No youth could have

passed more happily

than mine. My parentswere indulgent, and

my companions

amiable.

(Shelley, 21)

Our studies were

never forced...whichexcited us to ardour

in the prosecution of

them. It was by this

method, and not byemulation, that we

were urged to

application.

(Shelley, 21)

Fondness of Nature


16/33

Soon a gentle light stole over the

heavens, and gave me a sensation ofpleasure... I gazed with a kind of

wonder.(Shelley, 70)

It surprised me that what before was

desert and gloomy should now bloom with

the most beautiful flowers and verdure. Mysenses were gratified and refreshed by a

thousand scents of delight, and a thousandsights of beauty.

(Shelley, 80)

My spirits were elevated by theenchanting appearance of nature.

(Shelley, 80)


17/33

The sight of the awful and majestic in naturehad indeed always the effect of solemnising my

mind and causing me to forget the passing caresof life.

(Shelley, 66)

During my youthful days discontent never visited my

mind...the sight of what is beautiful in nature...could always interest my heart

(Shelley, 114)

inanimate nature had the power of bestowing onme the most delightful sensations.

(Shelley, 45)


18/33

Excitement towardslearning


19/33

I began to study them with diligence.(Shelley, 90)

The possession of these treasures

gave me extreme delight; I now

continually studied and exercised mymind upon these histories.

(Shelley, 89)

My days were spent in close attention,

that I might more speedily master the

language.

(Shelley,82)


20/33

I ardently desired the acquisition ofknowledge.(Shelley, 27)

natural philosophy, and particularly

chemistry, in the most comprehensive sense of

the term, became nearly my sole occupation(Shelley, 30)

I read with ardourthose works, sofull of genius and discrimination,

which modern inquirers have written on

these subjects

(Shelley, 30)

The world was to me a secret

which I desired to discover.(Shelley, 20)

23/33

I seemed to have lost all soul or

sensation but for this onepursuit.(Shelley, 33)

I appeared rather like one

doomedby slavery to toil.(Shelley, 35)

I dabbled among the unhallowed

damps of the grave, or tortured the

living animal to animate the lifelessclay.

(Shelley, 33)


24/33

the feelings of revengeand hatredfilled my bosom, and I did not striveto control them; but, allowing myself

to be borne away by the stream, I bentmy mind towards injury and death.

(Shelley, 97)

The feelings of kindness and

gentleness...gave way to hellish rageand gnashing of teeth. Inflamed bypain, I vowed eternal hatred and

vengeanceto all mankind.(Shelley, 99)

wretchedness!

(Shelley, 142)


26/33

I gnashed my teeth, my eyesbecame inflamed, and I ardentlywished to extinguish that lifewhich I had so thoughtlessly

bestowed.

(Shelley, 62)

I often endeavored to put an endto the existenceI loathed; and itrequired unceasing attendance andvigilance to restrain me fromcommitting some dreadful act of

violence.

(Shelley, 132)

I burned with rage to pursue themurderer of my peace and

precipitate him into the ocean.(Shelley, 121)


27/33

my feelings were those of rageand revenge.(Shelley, 95)

revenge remains - revenge,henceforth dearer than light or

food!

(Shelley, 120)

Now vice has degraded mebeneath the meanest animal.

(Shelley, 160)

I shall ascend my funeral piletriumphantly, and exult in the agony

of the torturing flames.(Shelley, 161)
