Morley Ernstein or the Tenants of the Heart, Vol. 2 of 3 (Classic Reprint) ~ Paperback ~ George Payne Rainsford James

Excerpt from Morley Ernstein or the Tenants of the Heart, Vol. 2 of 3 The under-workings of the passions in the human heart, the movements and the progress of that central fire in the world of each man's breast - that fire which is never guessed at by the surface, except from some slight and often unobserved indications, or from some violent outburst, like the eruption of a volcano - the underworkings of the passions, I say, are generally far more worthy of the investigation of philosophy, if we would take the trouble, are far more replete with the tragic and the sublime, than all the external demonstrations to which we give so much attention.
