It must be owned, that in choosing the profession of music, I hit on that I was least calculated for; yet my voice was good and I copied neatly; but the fatigue of long works bewilders me so much, that I spend more time in altering and scratching out than in pricking down, and if I do not employ the strictest attention in comparing the several parts, they are sure to fail in the execution. keywords: country; day; heart; idea; journey; life; madam; mademoiselle; man; means; music; paris; person; pleasure; thought; time; warrens cache: 3904.txt plain text: 3904.txt item: #6 of 14 id: 3905 author: Rousseau, Jean-Jacques title: The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 05 date: None words: 20622 flesch: 51 summary: Madam de Warrens herself was uneasy, agitated, wandering about the house and happily--finding the phial empty--guessed the rest. Madam de Warrens was fond of it merely for this purpose, seeking none but common plants to use in her medical preparations; thus botany, chemistry, and anatomy were confounded in my idea under the general denomination of medicine, and served to furnish me with pleasant sarcasms the whole day, which procured me, from time to time, a box on the ear, applied by Madam de Warrens. keywords: anet; chambery; day; good; happiness; heart; house; idea; inclination; life; madam; madam de; man; music; person; thought; time; warrens; woman; world cache: 3905.txt plain text: 3905.txt item: #7 of 14 id: 3906 author: Rousseau, Jean-Jacques title: The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 06 date: None words: 19815 flesch: 51 summary: We endeavored to comfort each other for the pain of parting, by forming plans for our reunion; and it was concluded, that after staying five or six weeks at Montpelier (which would give Madam de Larnage time to prepare for my reception in such a manner as to prevent scandal) Not thoroughly satisfied in my own mind on the rectitude of this expedition, as I advanced towards the Bridge of St. Esprit (which was equally the road to Saint-Andiol and to Chambery) I began to reflect on Madam de Warrens, the remembrance of whose letters, though less frequent than those from Madam de Larnage, awakened in my heart a remorse that passion had stifled in the first part of my journey, but which became so lively on my return, that, setting just estimate on the love of pleasure, I found myself in such a situation of mind that I could listen wholly to the voice of reason. keywords: books; day; good; happiness; heart; house; idea; larnage; length; life; madam; madam de; man; manner; moment; pleasure; thought; time; warrens cache: 3906.txt plain text: 3906.txt item: #8 of 14 id: 3907 author: Rousseau, Jean-Jacques title: The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau — Volume 07 date: None words: 32522 flesch: 65 summary: I stayed, and M. de Montaigu set out on his journey, taking with him another secretary, one M.
