Yet, when this cherished volume was now placed in my hand__hen I turned over its leaves, and sought in its marvellous pictures the charm I had, till now, never failed to find__ll was eerie and dreary; the giants were gaunt goblins, the pigmies malevolent and fearful imps, Gulliver a most desolate wanderer in most dread and dangerous regions._ I closed the book, which I dared no longer peruse, and put it on the table, beside the untasted tart.
