The writer, unlike his non-writing adult friend, has no predisposed outlook; he seldom observes deliberately. He sees what he didnot intend to see; he remembers what does not seem wholly possible.

But [the Arabs'] friendship was venal, their faith inconstant, their enmity capricious: it was an easier task to excite than to disarm these roving barbarians; and, in the familiar intercourse of war, they learned to see, and to despise, the splendid weakness both of Rome and of Persia. — Edward Gibbon

Ahab cast a covetous eye at Naboth's vineyard, David a lustful eye at Bathsheba.

Through Morna's grove,
When the drowsy world is dreaming, love!

And the best of all ways
To lengthen our days
Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear! — Thomas Moore
