Metaphor in Context
A thousand wild vagaries now rushed into my troubled brain: I thought of getting off in some disguise; of flying to my Henry--But then, would not my father force me from his arms? Might not some horrid scene of bloodshed follow? Could I sustain the curse of disobedience? O no! my heart shrunk within me at the shocking thought.--My mother's dying form seemed to appear before me, and her last words to vibrate on my ear.
