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

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.

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.

with his mouth full of news
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.
