What We Strttggi/Tc Foe. — And Who Docs ...
What we Strttggi / tc foe . — And who docs not know how ruthlessly women will tyrannise when they are let to domineer ? and who does not know how useless advice is ? I could give good counsel to my descendants , but I know they'll follow their own way , for all their grandfather ' s sermon . A man gets his own experience about women , and will take nobody ' s hearsay ; nor , indeed , is the young fellow worth a % that would . 'Tis I that am in love with my mistress , not my old grandmother that counsels me ; 'tis I that have fixed the value of the thing I would have , and know the price I would pay for it . It may he worthless to you , but 'tis all my life to me . Had Esmond possessed the Great Mogul ' s crown and all his diamonds , or all the Duke of Marlborough's money , or all the ingots sunk at Vigo , he would have given them all for this woman . A fool he was , if you will ; but so is a sovereign a fool , that will give half a principality for a little crystal as big as a pigeon ' s egg , and called a diamond : so is a wealthy nobleman a fool , that will face danger or death , and spend half his life , and all his tranquillity , caballing for a blue riband : so is a Dutch merchant a fool , that hath been known to pay ten thousand crowns for a tulip . There ' s some particular prize we all of us value , and that , every man of spirit will venture his life for . With this it may be to achieve a great reputation for learning ; with that , to be a man of fashion , and the admiration of the town ; with another , to consummate a great work of art or poetry , and go to immortality that way ; and with another , for a certain time of his life , the sole object and aim is a woman . ' —Thackeiuy ' s Esmond . The FtjT in the Web . —The truth is , that , whether she laughed at him or encouraged him ; whether she smiled or was cold and turned her smiles on another ; worldly and ambitious , as he knew her to be ; hard and careless as she seemed to grow with her court life , and a hundred admirers t hat came to her and left her ; Esmond , do what he would , never could get Beatrix out of his mind ; thought of her constantly at home or away : if he read his name in a Gazette , or escaped the shot of a cannon-ball or a greater danger in the campaign , as has happened to him more than once , th & instant thought after the honour achieved or the danger avoided was , " What will she say of it ?" " Will this distinction or the idea of this peril elate her or touch her , so as to bo better inclined towards me ? " Ho could no more help this passionate fidelity of temper than he could help the eyes ho saw withone or the other seemed a part of his nature ; and knowing every one of her faults as well as the keenest of her detractors , and the folly of an attachment to such a woman , of which the fruition could never bring him happiness for above a week , there was yet a charm about this Circe from which the poor deluded gentleman could not free himself ; and , for a much longer period than Ulysses ( another middle-aged oflicer , who had travelled much , and been hi the foreign wars ) , Esmond felt himself enthralled and besotted by the wiles of this enchantress . Quit her ! He could no more quit her , sis the Cymon of his . story was made to quit his fUl . se one , than ho could lose his consciousness of ^ es onlay . She had but to raise her finger , and he would conui back from ever so far ; she had but to say I have discarded such and such an adorer , and the poor infatuated wretch would lie hum to come smd r 6 der about her mother's house , willing to be put on the ranks of suitors , though In : knew he might he cast on " he next week . Tn ackicrav ' h Esmond .
