  2 Introd   |      tastes and imagination of the great romantic generation; but

  5 Introd   |        This pale character has the great pleasure of loving you with
  6 Introd   |          not caused scandal, not a great man who has not been mobbed
  7 Introd   |          children and the best are great egotists. You say that I

 10 Introd   |             hate. In spite of your great Sphinx eyes, you have seen

 13 Introd   |           my compatriots, from the great family in whose bosom my
 14 I        |         surprise you. For I have a great desire to see you and to
 15 V        |           that she has destroyed a great citizen. I don’t need to
 16 VI       |            and you?~I kiss the two great diamonds which adorn your
 17 XIV      |            and I saw that all that great politeness came from the
 18 XVI      |          with it all. I have had a great desire to question you,
 19 XVI      |            question you, but a too great respect for you has prevented
 20 XVI      |    calamities, while those which a great mind has had to undergo
 21 XVI      |           of intelligence may have great curiosity. I have not had
 22 XVI      |         free to embark either on a great ship in full sail, or on
 23 XVI      |            should love to see your great river flow, and to keep
 24 XVIII    |       telling our heart pangs. The great river will run black or
 25 XVIII    |    children, who are, like myself, great admirers of you, send you
 26 XXI      |         sometimes I think I feel a great fatigue accumulated from
 27 XXVI     |        open. You inspire me with a great respect and I do not dare
 28 XXXI     |   appletrees as in Normandy; not a great river with its steam whistles
 29 XXXII    |         has its compensations. The great natures which are good,

 31 XXXIII   |     certainly, and the more we are great natures, the more we pass
 32 XXXIII   |     nothing, nothing at all. But a great wisdom saves us; we know

 35 XXXV     |      branches when and how we can. Great artists are often weak also,
 36 XXXV     |           but if their pleasure is great, verging on the infinite,

 45 XLV      |            Is it because you are a great man or a charming being?
 46 XLVI     |           he who has never had any great disappointments and who
 47 XLVIII   |           was the gangrene in this great and admirable mind, so lucid
 48 XLVIII   |         that we love one another a great deal, dear comrade, for

 80 XCVI     |         There is always a youthful great first part in the drama
 81 XCVII    |          not caused scandal, not a great man who has not been mobbed
 82 XCIX     |      pictures which I compose with great difficulty. All my house
 83 C        |           have laughed and lived a great deal during these holidays,
 84 C        |          you and appreciates you a great deal. Tourgueneff has been
 85 CII      |     without embracing you also, my great friend, and my dear, big
 86 CIII     |        This pale character has the great pleasure of loving you with
 87 CIII     |        boor, even when he is of no great account; the word pignouf

102 CLXVII   |           old friend. I too have a great one, I mourn for Barbes,
103 CLXXII   |          against the new! Why not? Great united works like the Suez
104 CLXXII   |            perhaps going to have a great drubbing which entered into
105 CLXXII   |      things. We must return to the great tradition, hold no longer

111 CLXXXVI  |            gave me the effect of a great upheaval of nature, one

115 CLXXXVIII|         the Catholics do to meet a great danger? They crossed themselves
116 CLXXXVIII|         folly is the result of too great imbecility, and that imbecility
117 CLXXXVIII|      called “marquises,” while the great ladies called themselves

123 CXCV     |            out! Thunder! Take your great lyre and touch the brazen
124 CXCV     |       Themis.~Why do you feel “the great bonds broken?” What is broken?
125 CXCVII   |             from my race, from the great family in whose bosom my
126 CXCVII   |         without doubt relatively a great good, the only consolation
127 CXCVII   | proletariat even escaped them to a great degree, divided as it was

130 CXCVII   |            very quickly. All these great material organizations in
131 CXCVII   |         forth and will bring forth great crime....~Unfortunate International,
132 CXCVII   |           is a phantom of death. A great number of men of every nationality
133 CXCVII   |            the contrary, you are a great and legitimate fraternal
134 CXCVII   |            and hard-working men in great numbers, and that they suffer
135 CXCVII   |        forms of love. We must make great efforts in behalf of brotherhood
136 CXCVIII  |           to keep silent and those great minds on whom the need of
137 CXCIX    |         public instruction was the great Valles, who boasted that

139 CCI      |          would perhaps do France a great service?~Aisse keeps me
140 CCI      |           me greatly, for I was in great form. For the last month
141 CCIII    |           you are well, you have a great deal to do, you still detest
142 CCXI     |            would kill me. I have a great need to be calm so as to
143 CCXIII   |            of imbecility.~It was a great loss to art, that premature
144 CCXIV    |          state. But I have slept a great deal and I am again afloat.

147 CCXX     |          Kant and Hegel. These two great men are helping to stupefy

155 CCXLIII  |      master. Yes, they were like a great whiff of air, and, after
156 CCXLIV   |      thousand others! That helps a great deal; for Maurice and I
157 CCXLV    |      applauded? But yourself, YOU, great George Sand, you confess
158 CCXLVI   |       there is such a thing as too great isolation, too great detachment
159 CCXLVI   |           too great isolation, too great detachment from the bonds
160 CCXLVI   |           control: the subjects of great sadness are elsewhere, in
161 CCXLVI   |          against civilization is a great bitterness for those who

163 CCXLVI   |          secret angers, there is a great stimulant which rightly
164 CCXLVII  |        receives a pension from the great, is very much freer, and
165 CCXLIX   |          least undertaking demands great efforts.~I am reading chemistry

179 CCLXXXI  |      October. He is reckoning on a great money success. Well, so
180 CCLXXXIII|        suffering. There is another great void about us and my nephew,
181 CCLXXXV  |          one side on which he is a great philosopher, while at the
182 CCLXXXV  |            the same time he is the great artist that you require
183 CCLXXXV  |           your troubles, which are great, I see that, and which turn

188 CCXCI    |            same, that man did me a great deal of harm. He wounded
189 CCXCVI   |         writing to me.~I also have great and frequent sorrows. My
190 CCXCVII  |            devotion, as I think, a great sacrifice for your niece,
191 CCCI     |      tender, has made me reflect a great deal. I have reread it ten
