"Oh, what's the use of sighing, Since time is on the wing To-morrow we'll be dying, So merrily, merrily sing Tra, la, la!" After dining in company with Brother Pratt I seated myself upon the piazza; and, while we smoked our cheroots, we recalled the past, dwelt upon the present, and anticipated the future. After a considerable amount of desultory conversation, the Brother suddenly asked me
There are accents, rests, lengthened sounds, sounds suddenly cut short in fact, all sorts of vocal gymnastics that clearly defeated any effort to "talk" the songs.

A big burly Swede came forward from the miner's tent. "Are you one of the new settlers?" asked Wayland. "Yaw! A gott pig varm! Tra vor years mak' pig money liffin' y'ere!

Having returned to Florence, Giuliano found that his brother Antonio, who worked for him on his models, had become so excellent, that there was no one in his day who was a better master in carving, particularly for large Crucifixes of wood; to which witness is borne by the one over the high-altar of the Nunziata in Florence, by another that is kept by the Friars of S.

'La la! tra la li la! deep down like so, full wiz angryness, terreebl', yes! And Coquelicot he jump, oh my! oh my! never he could jump so of all his life. And the tail bit-ween his legs, and there that he run, run, as if all devils run after him.
Now I 'll paint a little boy oho, oho, tra lala la loo lal loo oho what a nice little boy and here comes a cow; hold that, bossy in you go for art's dear sake tra la la la, la loo!" Look at a Corot closely and listen, and you can always hear the echo of the pipes o' Pan.
