1 My own agitation and anguish was extreme during the whole trial.
2 I had cast off all feeling, subdued all anguish, to riot in the excess of my despair.
3 He was conveyed home, and the anguish that was visible in my countenance betrayed the secret to Elizabeth.
4 Anguish and despair had penetrated into the core of my heart; I bore a hell within me which nothing could extinguish.
5 Elizabeth read my anguish in my countenance, and kindly taking my hand, said, "My dearest friend, you must calm yourself."
6 No one can conceive the anguish I suffered during the remainder of the night, which I spent, cold and wet, in the open air.
7 During this conversation I had retired to a corner of the prison room, where I could conceal the horrid anguish that possessed me.
8 I remembered only, and it was with a bitter anguish that I reflected on it, to order that my chemical instruments should be packed to go with me.
9 Every thought that was devoted to it was an extreme anguish, and every word that I spoke in allusion to it caused my lips to quiver, and my heart to palpitate.
10 When night came I quitted my retreat and wandered in the wood; and now, no longer restrained by the fear of discovery, I gave vent to my anguish in fearful howlings.
11 He approached; his countenance bespoke bitter anguish, combined with disdain and malignity, while its unearthly ugliness rendered it almost too horrible for human eyes.
12 Pardon this gush of sorrow; these ineffectual words are but a slight tribute to the unexampled worth of Henry, but they soothe my heart, overflowing with the anguish which his remembrance creates.
13 We returned again, with torches; for I could not rest, when I thought that my sweet boy had lost himself, and was exposed to all the damps and dews of night; Elizabeth also suffered extreme anguish.
14 Soon, oh, very soon, will death extinguish these throbbings and relieve me from the mighty weight of anguish that bears me to the dust; and, in executing the award of justice, I shall also sink to rest.
15 I saw an insurmountable barrier placed between me and my fellow men; this barrier was sealed with the blood of William and Justine, and to reflect on the events connected with those names filled my soul with anguish.
16 Once, after the poor animals that conveyed me had with incredible toil gained the summit of a sloping ice mountain, and one, sinking under his fatigue, died, I viewed the expanse before me with anguish, when suddenly my eye caught a dark speck upon the dusky plain.
