FROM THE WRITINGS

OF

W. M. THACKERAY

CHIEFLY PHILOSOPHICAL AND REFLECTIVE

'I should like to touch you sometimes with a reminiscence
that shall waken your sympathy, and make you say, lo anchè
have so thought, felt, smiled, suffered'

'Nor pass the words as idle phrases by;

Stranger! I never writ a flattery,

Nor sign'd the page that register'd a lie'
