My tearful eyes my soul's deep hurt are
glassing;
For I would hail and check that ship of
ships.
I stretch my hands imploring, cry aloud,
My voice falls dead a foot from mine
own lips,
And but its ghost doth reach that vessel,
passing, passing.

When Richard asks his lawyer what's being done for his case...(A beautiful way to say I'm working on it, but not really getting anything done...)

"Nothing done!"
"Don't say that! It is scarcely fair!"
"Why, what is done?"
"A good deal is doing, sir. We have put our shoulders to the wheel, Mr. Carstone, and the wheel is going round."

Loving this book, but it's so long. Can't wait to see how all these characters coming together in true Dickensonian style. Most Dickens fans say this is his best. I have yet to still see that. Hoping to get this done by the end of the summer, but not sure if I'll make it.

“There were two classes of charitable people: one, the people who did a little and made a great deal of noise; the other, the people who did a great deal and made no noise at all.”

“Oh I haven’t got long to live, for we all
Die soon, e’en those who live longest;
And the poorest and weakest are taking
Their chance
Along with the richest and strongest.”

I am continually astounded at how much I love his poetry.

“Unexpressed

Deep in my heart that aches
With repression,
And strives with plenitude of bitter pain,
There lives a thought that clamors for
Expression,
And spends its undelivered force in vain.

The right of thoughts’ expression is
Divine;
The price of pain I pay for it has bought it,
I care not who lays claim to it - ‘tis
Mine! “

"She hated being a nobody, and like all children, adopted or not, I have had to live out some of her unlived life. We do that for our parents - we don't really have a choice."

"I need words because unhappy families are conspiracies of silence. The one who breaks the silence is never forgiven. He or she has to learn to forgive him or herself."

Just hit chapter 3. Why am I finding all the characters so annoying? I don't even like Perrin anymore and he used to be my favorite! Argh!

Hating Niall (can't find his name right now, he's in charge of the Children of the LIght). He's so manipulative and I want Morgese to find out that Rand is on her side. It's so long before some of these plot lines are resolved and sometimes they're just not as satisfying as I'd like. Liking the Aiel more, and Egwene is finally starting to develop a little more. The repetition is annoying and I miss Perrin.

Loving this series, fun brain candy when I need a break from the classics. Perrin is in Two Rivers and about to check out the White Cloaks. I hope he does some damage to them, but I have a feeling Jordan isn't going to grant my request. These plot lines never turn out the way I think they are...which is why, (she said grudgingly) that I continue to be enthralled by this series...
