Examples

But sorrow that is couch'd in seeming gladness Is like that mirth fate turns to sudden sadness.”
But as time, as time will, drew on, and Watt's period of service on the ground floor approached its term, then this wish and this fear, and so this sorrow and this gladness, like so many other wishes and fears, so many other sorrows and gladnesses, grew duller and duller and gradually ceased to be felt, at all.”
