"Heaven nor hell shall impedemy designs, said Manfred,……" — Horace Walpole
"Heaven nor hell shall impedemy designs, said Manfred, advancing again to seize the princess. At that instant the portrait of his grandfather ... uttered a deep sigh and heaved its breast. ... Manfred... saw it quit its panel, and descend on the floor with a grave and melancholy air."
