“And then the man whom Sorrow named his friend
Cried out, Dim sea, hear my most piteous story!

MThe ACCUSING SPIRIT which flew up to heaven’s chancery with the oath, blush’d as he gave it in;—and the RECORDING ANGEL as he wrote it down, dropp’d a tear upon the word, and blotted it out for ever.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
