Excerpt from Corinna, Vol. 1 of 3: Or Italy
That he should resort to the salubrious climates of the south. Though he was indifferent about the preservation of his life, be obeyed this advice, hoping that a succession of novelties might in some measure dissipate his sorrow. His inmost breast was afflicted by the severest of privations - the loss of a father and this original cause of his disorder, when aggravated by painful circumstances, and aided by acute compunctions, left his imagination Open to terrific phantoms. The heart softened by dejection is easily persuaded of its own guilt; and the tranquillity even of the conscience is disturbed by violent agitations of grief.
