- 1886, "The Greek Islanders", The Quarterly Review, Volume 163, page 215, July & October 1886:
  The moirologists will sing of the loneliness of the living, of the horrors of death, of the black earth, and the cold dreary frozen Hades; and, in the strange language of hyperbole, in which they love to indulge, they will wonder how the sun could venture to shine on so lamentable a scene as the one before them.
