Excerpt from Geraldine, Vol. 3 of 3: Or, Modes of Faith and Practice; A Tale

I have lost Geraldine; and when, in the calmness of solitude, I review my past conduct, it appears insulting inexcusable. I execrate my folly in the bitterness of my heart, I could curse the coquettes and syrens by whom I Was for a moment lured? The illusion has vanished -likethe mortal in fairy land, whose eyes were touched by the fatal drug instead of beauty, and grace, and ravishing sights, and Sounds, I now discover only meanness and deformity. And for such worthless-beings, I have cast away a pearl richer than all their tribe.'
