Friday morning
Armitage, Rice, and Morgan set out by motor for Dunwich, arriving
at the village about one in the afternoon. The day was pleasant,
but even in the brightest sunlight a kind of quiet dread and portent

shadowy ravines of the stricken region. Now and then on some mountain

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad: temperamentally no respecter of persons. His scorn was equally

But lou'd thee better then thou can'st deuise:
Till thou shalt know the reason of my loue,
