Example
Als ich so alt war wie Sie, war ich ein ganz gefühlvoller Bursche; ich hatte Mitleid mit den Unterdrückten, den Vernachlässigten, den Unglücklichen; aber seitdem hat das Schicksal mich hin- und hergeworfen; es hat mich mit seinen Fäusten förmlich geknetet, und jetzt schmeichle ich mir, so hart und so zähe zu sein wie ein Gummiball.When I was as old as you, I was a feeling fellow enough, partial to the unfledged, unfostered, and unlucky; but Fortune has knocked me about since: she has even kneaded me with her knuckles, and now I flatter myself I am hard and tough as an India-rubber ball; pervious, though, through a chink or two still, and with one sentient point in the middle of the lump.OP67309
