I remember the faces of women and children in his pictures where everything is blurred or obscured, save faces which have a nameless charm.

It is the hidden heart which looks out, and we love these women and children for this, for surely the heart's desire is its own secret.
She thrust her face close to the glass, to see whether some long-remembered wrinkle or crow's-foot had indeed vanished. She examined whether the snow had so entirely melted from her hair, that the venerable cap could be safely thrown aside. At last, turning briskly away, she came with a sort of dancing step to the table. "My dear old doctor," cried she, "pray favor me with another glass!"
Our nights are the keys to our days. They explain them. They are also the day's correctors. Night's leisure untangles the mistakes of day's haste. We should not attempt to comprise our pasts in the phrase, "in those days;" we should rather say "in those days and nights." That night was a long-remembered one to the apothecary of the rue Royale.
A second separation followed, which lasted three years, and again the long-remembered voice was recognised, and replied to with impatient cries; after which, rushing on his master, he licked his face with every mark of joy, menacing his keepers, towards whom he had just before been exhibiting fondness.

Miss Forrest developed a new trait to make her envied. She sang with infinite spirit and a great deal of taste.
That such a meeting as this should have formed so long-remembered an incident in the poet's life will appear, perhaps, equally ridiculous to the philosopher and to the man of the world. The one would have given less, the other would have demanded more.
And when in an inspired moment he coupled the names of Abraham Lincoln and Father Jahn, the very leaves of the trees above them trembled at their cheers. And afterwards there was a long-remembered supper in the moonlit grove with Richter and a party of his college friends from Jena.
That visit to the Carter Farm was a long-remembered one. The girls walked through the long stables exclaiming at everything they saw. "Why, there's an electric fan in each stall!" gasped Migwan, "and the windows are screened!"
