Christmas Carol Flashcards
Cold,
Bleak, biting weather
He was
all in a glow; his face was ruddy and handsome; his eyes sparkled
I wear
The chain I forged in life
No rest,
No peace. Incessant torture of remorse.
Mankind

Idol has displaced me.
He could not
Hide the light: which streamed from under it, in an unbroken flood upon the ground.

Yellow, meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish: but prostrate, too, in their humility
