Metaphor in Context
Can you, my once dear friend, without abhorrence, think of her who robbed you of a brother, and was the unhappy cause his pure and spotless soul was stained with blood?
Are you not now amazed how conscious of the evils I had brought upon your family, I dared to view your face, or to behold the day? Yet such was the fatality of my attachment to my dear departed Henry, I could not bear my own existence, but at those times my thoughts were fixed on him, and my sad fancy busied in retracing the likeness of his features in an Evelyn's face.
(II, p. 203)
