Pale as a lily, he resembled in truth one of those king's sons whose pictures he was cutting out, with his large, light eyes and his shower of fair curls.
All the devious brooklet's sweetness where the iris stays the sunlight; all the wild woods hold the beauty; all the broad hill's thyme and freedom: thrice a hundred years repeated. A hundred years of cowslips, blue-bells, violets; purple spring and golden autumn; sunshine, shower, and dewy mornings; the night immortal; all the rhythm of Time unrolling.

"Never forget, Carl, that you will be welcome back, whenever you feel like coming," said Gilbert, laying his band affectionately on Carl's shoulder. "We all like you here." "Thank you, old fellow! I appreciate the kindness I have received here; but I must strike out for myself." "How do you feel about it, Carl?"
You've killed him!" cried Bob. "I did not; I fired straight up!" panted Elliott, dashing past him. "Quick! We'll catch him!" But catch him nor see him again they did not.

During this season of the year a heavy bank of clouds, stretched over the ocean, seldom rises above the wall of rocks on the coast.

"Her lot is on you! silent tears to weep, And patient smiles to wear through suffering's hour, And sumless riches from affection's deep To pour on" something "a wasted shower!" Yes, wasted, indeed!
