Governments always tend to want not really a free press but a managed or well-conducted one. - [Newspapers] But hark! what shriek of death comes in the gale, And in the distant ray what glimmering sail Bends to the storm?--Now sinks the note of fear! Ah! wretched mariners!--no more shall day Unclose his cheering eye to light ye on your way! - Mysteries of Udolpho--Shipwreck [Shipwreck] Lightnings, that show the vast and foamy deep, The rending thunders, as they onward roll, The loud winds, that o'er the billows sweep-- Shake the firm nerve, appal the bravest soul! - Mysteries of Udolpho--The Mariner (st. 9) [Storms] Fate sits on these dark battlements, and frowns; And as the portals open to receive me, Her voice, in sullen echoes, through the courts, Tells of a nameless deed. - The Motto to "The Mysteries of Udolpho" [Fate]
