FROM THE PAGES OF DRACULA

001

I read that every known superstition in the world is gathered into the horseshoe of the Carpathians, as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool; if so my stay may be very interesting. (Mem., I must ask the Count all about them.) (page 6)

 

When the Count saw my face, his eyes blazed with a sort of demoniac fury, and he suddenly made a grab at my throat. I drew away, and his hand touched the string of beads which held the crucifix. It made an instant change in him, for the fury passed so quickly that I could hardly believe that it was ever there. (page 31 )

 

But my very feelings changed to repulsion and terror when I saw the whole man slowly emerge from the window and begin to crawl down the castle wall over that dreadful abyss, face down, with his cloak spreading out around him like great wings. (page 39)

 

Then she paused, and I could hear the churning sound of her tongue as it licked her teeth and lips, and could feel the hot breath on my neck. Then the skin of my throat began to tingle as one’s flesh does when the hand that is to tickle it approaches nearer—nearer. I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the supersensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there. I closed my eyes in a languorous ecstasy and waited—waited with beating heart. (page 44)

 

Between me and the moonlight flitted a great bat, coming and going in great, whirling circles. (page 105)

 

No man knows till he experiences it, what it is to feel his own life-blood drawn away into the veins of the woman he loves. (page 141)

 

“Faith: ‘that which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.’ ” (page 208)

 

“Madness were easy to bear compared with truth like this.” (page 209)

 

A brave man’s hand can speak for itself; it does not even need a woman’s love to hear its music. (page 254)

 

All was dark and silent, the black shadows thrown by the moonlight seeming full of a silent mystery of their own. Not a thing seemed to be stirring, but all to be grim and fixed as death or fate; so that a thin streak of white mist, that crept with almost imperceptible slowness across the grass towards the house, seemed to have a sentience and a vitality of its own. (page 275)
