Derek Walcott: Sea Canes
But I cannot walk
on the moonlit leaves of Ocean,
down that white road alone,
or float with the dreaming motion
of owls leaving earth's load.
O earth the number of friends you keep
exceeds those left to be loved
..
May Sarton: Journey toward Poetry
After all the mad beautiful racing is done,
To be still, to be silent, to stand by a window,
Where time not motion changes light to shadow
George Burns
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close knit family in another city
A carelessness which betokened no great belief in its virtues ... W.W.Jacobs
There was an air of prosaic wholesomeness about the room which it had lacked on hte previous night, and the dirty, shrivelled little paw was pitched on the sideboard with a carelessness which betokened no great belief in its virtues.
Yet I know no wise remedy..
I will no longer endure it, though yet I
know no wise remedy how to avoid it.

Those that she makes fair scarce makes honet ...
'Tis true; for those that she makes fair she scarce
makes honest, and those that she makes honest she
makes very ill-favouredly.
fair vs ill-favoredly

with his mouth full of news
which he will put on us, as pigeons feed their young.
Then shall we be news-crammed
Your spirits are too bold for your years
Young gentleman, your spirits are too bold for your
years. You have seen cruel proof of this man's
strength: if you saw yourself with your eyes or
knew yourself with your judgment, the fear of your
adventure would counsel you to a more equal
enterprise. We pray you, for your own sake, to
embrace your own safety and give over this attempt.
For I have none to lament me
I beseech you, punish me not with your hard
thoughts; wherein I confess me much guilty, to deny
so fair and excellent ladies any thing. But let
your fair eyes and gentle wishes go with me to my
trial: wherein if I be foiled, there is but one
shamed that was never gracious; if killed, but one
dead that was willing to be so: I shall do my
friends no wrong, for I have none to lament me, the
world no injury, for in it I have nothing; only in
the world I fill up a place, which may be better
supplied when I have made it empty.
