The dash used in amplifications 271 Good people all, with one accord, Lament for Madame Blaize, Who never wanted a good word — Prom those who spoke her praise. They wiU steal anything, and call it — purchase. The dash was much used by authors of a century or more ago to express in one sentence great con- trariety of action, as appears in this extract from Sterne, which is a close reprint of his punctuation : Nature instantly ebbed again ; — the film returned to its place; — the pulse fluttered,... — stopped, — went on, — throbbed, — stopped again, — moved, stopped, Shall I go on ? No. The insertion of the comma before the dash, as appears in the quotation from Sterne, would now, except in rare cases, be regarded as unnecessary. They yield — they break — they fly : The victory is won. Pursue ! they faint — they fall — they die ; Oh stay ! the work is done. The dash is also used to separate the repetition or different amplifications of the same statement. The infinite importance of what he has to do — the goading conviction that it must be done — the dreadful combination in his mind of both the neces- sity and the incapacity — the despair of crowding the concerns of an age into a moment — the im- possibility of beginning a repentance which should have been completed — of setting about a peace 272 Bashes for side-headings which should have been concluded — of suing for a pardon which should have been obtained — all these complicated concerns intolerably augment the sufferings of the victims.
