Eliot Phrasis Quartet Recited Part 3
ELIOT PHRASIS 111
Dashed off by winds and rain
we have no autumnal beauty.Haps
and mishaps,vivid remembrances out
of dimness.Pray believe me a
desponding state.Faith is not easy,
no impulse of triumphant affection
no pleasure in my chagrin.This savoury
morsel of capricious prohibition,a
wise measure, quite apart from
indulgence.Hope and yearning,as
old age dims faculties, a prime
blessing, brings eager expectation
weakness and virtues.
From George Eliot Journal& Letters 1885
Listen to me read this phrasis quartet on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
