A Tale of Two Cities——《双城记》
They said of him that it was the most peaceful face ever seen there. What passed through Sydney Carton's mind as he walked those last steps to his death?Perhaps he saw into the future...
'I see Barsad, Defarge, the judges, all dying under this terrible machine. I see a beautiful city being built in this terrible place. I see that new people will live here, in real freedom. I see the lives for whom I give my life, happy and peaceful in that England which I shall never see again. I see Lucie when she is old, crying for me on this day every year, and I know that she and her husband remember me until their deaths. I see their son, who has my name, now a man. I see him become a famous lawyer and make my name famous by his work. I hear him tell his son my story.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far far better rest than I go to, than I have ever known.'
人们谈论他说他的脸是在那种地方见过的最平静的脸。当西德尼·卡登迈着最后的步伐向死亡走去时,他的脑海中想到了什么呢?也许他看到了未来……
“我看到巴萨德、德法热、法官们都在这个可怕的机器下面死去。我看见一个美丽的城市正在这片可怕的土地上建立起来。我看到新一代的人民将在真正的自由中生活。我看到我为之付出生命的人们,他们幸福安宁的生活在我再也见不到的英国。我看见路西年老的时候,每一年的这一天都会为我哭泣,我知道她和她的丈夫会一直到死都记着我。我看见他们的儿子,有着和我一样的名字,现在长成了一个男人。我看见他成了一位著名的律师并通过他的工作而使我扬名四方。我听见他给他的儿子讲起我的故事。
我做的是一件很好的事。它远远好过我所做的所有的事。它将是一个很好的长眠,远比我所知道的要好。”

呼啸山庄》
您回画眉山庄的路上会经过教堂墓地,洛克伍德先生,您可以看见靠近荒原的三个墓碑。中间凯瑟琳的已经很旧了,被周围生长的杂草掩盖住了一半。一边是艾加·林顿的,另一边是西斯克里夫的新墓碑。如果您在那儿呆一会儿,看着在温暖夏日的空气里纷飞的昆虫,听着在草丛中喘息的柔风,您就会知道在静谧的泥土下,长眠的人在多么平静的安息。

《欧也妮 葛郎台》中,过了七十六岁的葛朗台老头在看到女儿把玩自己的定情之物金梳妆匣时,竟"身子一纵,扑上梳妆匣,好似一头老虎扑上一个睡着的婴儿"。
<<福尔摩斯>>
如果我生命的旅程到今夜为止,我也可以问心无愧地视死如归。由于我的存在,伦敦的空气得以清新。在我办的一千多件案子里,我相信,我从未把我的力量用错了地方.
You'll pass the churchyard, Mr Lockwood, on your way back to the Grange, and you'll see the three graverestones close to the moor. Catherine's, the middle one, is old now, and half buried in plants which have grown over it. On one side is Edgar Linton's, and on the other is Heathcliff's new one. If you stay there a moment, and watch the insects flying in the warm summer air, and listen to the soft wind breathing through the grass, you'll understand how quietly they rest, the sleepers in that quiet earth.
