The Last Man
Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley et al.BOOKThe last man2008

Morton D PaleyBOOKApocalypse and Millennium in…2003

Morton D PaleyARTICLEEighteenth-Century Studies1968
I said: now is my grief at worst: incapable of being Surpassed: but every moment it accumulates more & more It continues accumulating to eternity! the joys of God advance For he is Righteous: he is not a Being of Pity & Compassion He cannot feel Distress: he feeds on Sacrifice & Offering: Delighting in cries & tears & clothed in holiness & solitude But my griefs advance also, for ever & ever without end
