Excerpt from Tylney Hall, Vol. 3 of 3
There passed the spirit! Said the Creole, with a natural shudder; he is dead.
Oh no - no - no, groaned Baby, and in stinctively he passed his hand from the mouth to the wrist, and thence to the heart; but there was no breath, no pulsation, and Hope, which had prompted the test, recoiled with the benumbing shiver which nothing but the contact of Death, that awful torpedo, can communicate. His whole frame shook with a violence that threatened disso lution; a cold sweat broke out in large beads upon his brow - nature could bear no more; and clasp ing his bursting temples between his hands, he dropped like a stone upon the turf.

Excerpt from Tylney Hall, Vol. 3 of 3
My brother,
Awake! - why liest thou so on the green earth?
'Tis not the hour of slumber: - why so pale?
What hast thou? thou wert full of life this morn!
... Who makes me brotherless?
His eyes are open! then he is not dead!
Death is like sleep; and sleep shuts down our lids.
His lips, too, are apart; why then he breathes;
And yet I feel it not. - His heart! - his heart! -
Let me see, doth it beat? - methinks - No! no!
This is a vision, else am I become
The native of another and worse world.
Byron's Cain.
