Rival in crime and falsehood, aping all
The wanton horrors of her bloody play;
Yet frozen, unimpassioned, spiritless, _25
Shunning the light, and owning not its name,
Compelled, by its deformity, to screen,
With flimsy veil of justice and of right,
Its unattractive lineaments, that scare
All, save the brood of ignorance: at once _30
The cause and the effect of tyranny;
Unblushing, hardened, sensual, and vile;
Dead to all love but of its abjectness,
With heart
impassive
by more noble powers
Than unshared pleasure, sordid gain, or fame; _35
Despising its own miserable being,
Which still it longs, yet fears to disenthrall.

She was considered both a philosopher and a novelist in her own time because she consorted with all the clever men and women of her age and she put forth imaginative bits of fiction such as Delphine and Corinne, while also embodying the concept of sensibility that was prevalent in her era. However, criticism has stripped away the philosophy that was not her own, leaving her recognized as a unique exponent of sensibility. |

bud of her, pore of her?
