Frases de Walter Scott
página 3

Walter Scott, primer Baronet , escritor escocés prolífico del Romanticismo británico, especializado en novelas históricas, género que creó tal como lo conocemos hoy, además de ser poeta y editor. Fue conocido en toda Europa en su época, y, en cierto sentido, Scott fue el primer autor que tuvo una verdadera carrera internacional en su tiempo, con muchos lectores contemporáneos en Europa, Australia y Norteamérica.

Sus novelas históricas y, en menor medida, su poesía, aún se leen, pero hoy es menos popular de lo que fue en la cumbre de su éxito. A pesar de ello, muchas de sus obras siguen siendo clásicos en la literatura inglesa y específicamente escocesa. Algunos de sus títulos más famosos son Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley y The Heart of Midlothian. Wikipedia

“[…] a stone rolled down hill by an idle truant boy […]. Even such is the course of a narrative like that which you are perusing. The earlier events are studiously dwelt upon, that you, kind reader, may be introduced to the character rather by narrative, than by the duller mdium of direct description; but when the story drwas near its close, we hurry over the circumstances, however important, which your imagination must hvae forestalled, and leave you to suppose those things which it would be abusing your patience to relate at length.”

Pibroch of Donald Dhu (1816), St. 4.

“Her haughtiness and habit of domination was, therefore, a fictitious character, induced over that which was natural to her, and it deserted her when her eyes were opened to the extent of her own danger, as well as that of her lover and her guardian; and when she found her will, the slightest expression of which was wont to command respect and attention, now placed in opposition to that of a man of a strong, fierce, and determined mind, who possessed the advantage over her, and was resolved to use it, she quailed before him.”

“Some feelings are to mortals given
With less of earth in them than heaven;
And if there be a human tear
From passion's dross refined and clear,
A tear so limpid and so meek
It would not stain an angel's cheek,
'Tis that which pious fathers shed
Upon a duteous daughter's head!”

“…We beg leave to transport the reader to the back-parlour of the post-master's house at Fairport, where his wife, he himself being absent, was employed in assorting for delivery the letters which had come by the Edinburgh post. This is very often in country towns the period of the day when gossips find it particularly agreeable to call on the man or woman of letters, in order, from the outside of the epistles, and, if they are not belied, occasionally from the inside also, to amuse themselves with gleaning information, or forming conjectures about the correspondence and affairs of their neighbours. Two females of this description were, at the time we mention, assisting, or impeding, Mrs. Mailsetter in her official duty.”

Till England's rid of all the four.”

When pain and anguish wring the brow,
A ministering angel thou!”
