The rain set early in to-night, the sullen wind was soon awake, it tore the elm-tops down for spite, and did its worst to vex the lake: i listened with heart fit to break. [5] when glided in porphyria; straight she shut the cold out and the storm, and kneeled and made the cheerless grate blaze up, and all the cottage warm; which done, she rose, and from her form [10] withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl, and laid her soiled gloves by, untied her hat and let the damp hair fall, and, last, she sat down by my side and called me. when no voice replied, [15] she put my arm about her waist, and made her smooth white shoulder bare, and all her yellow hair displaced, and, stooping, made my cheek lie there, and spread, oâer all, her yellow hair, [20] murmuring how she loved meâshe too weak, for all her heartâs endeavour, to set its struggling passion free from pride, and vainer ties dissever, and give herself to me for ever. [25] but passion sometimes would prevail, nor could to-nightâs gay feast restrain a sudden thought of one so pale for love of her, and all in vain: so, she was come through wind and rain. [30] be sure i looked up at her eyes happy and proud; at last i knew porphyria worshipped me; surprise made my heart swell, and still it grew while i debated what to do. [35] that moment she was mine, mine, fair, perfectly pure and good: i found a thing to do, and all her hair in one long yellow string i wound three times her little throat around, [40] and strangled her. no pain felt she; i am quite sure she felt no pain. as a shut bud that holds a bee, i warily oped her lids: again laughed the blue eyes without a stain. [45] and i untightened next the tress about her neck; her cheek once more blushed bright beneath my burning kiss: i propped her head up as before, only, this time my shoulder bore [50] her head, which droops upon it still: the smiling rosy little head, so glad it has its utmost will, that all it scorned at once is fled, and i, its love, am gained instead! [55] porphyriaâs love: she guessed not how her darling one wish would be heard. and thus we sit together now, and all night long we have not stirred, and yet god has not said a word!

Hurry 50pts read the excerpt from justice curtisâs dissenting opinion, then answer the question that follows. slavery, being contrary to natural right, is created only by municipal law. this is not only plain in itself, and agreed by all writers on the subject, but is inferable from the constitution, and has been explicitly declared by this court. the constitution refers to slaves as âpersons held to service in one state, under the laws thereof.â . . . . it was certainly understood by the convention which framed the constitution, and has been so understood ever since, that, under the power to regulate commerce, congress could prohibit the importation of slaves; and the exercise of the power was restrained till 1808. a citizen of the united states owns slaves in cuba, and brings them to the united states, where they are set free by the legislation of congress. does this legislation deprive him of his property without due process of law? if so, what becomes of the laws prohibiting the slave trade? if not, how can a similar regulation respecting a territory violate the fifth amendment of the constitution? . . for these reasons, i am of opinion that so much of the several acts of congress as prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude within that part of the territory of wisconsin . . were constitutional and valid laws. âdissenting opinion on dred scott v. sandford, justice benjamin curtis which evidence best supports curtisâs opinion that dred scott should be free because he lived in a free territory? check all that apply. âthe constitution refers to slaves as âpersons held to service in one stateââ âthe convention which framed the constitution . . has . . the power to regulate commerce.â âa citizen of the united states owns slaves in cuba.â âdoes this legislation deprive him of his property without due process of law? â âacts of congress as prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude within that part of the territory of wisconsin . . were constitutional and valid laws.â
