But Snowdrop was growing prettier and prettier every day, and when she was seven years old she was as beautiful as she could be, and fairer even than the Queen herself. One day when the latter asked her mirror the usual question, it replied: 'My Lady Queen, you are fair, 'tis true, But Snowdrop is fairer far than you.
Because of our need and aspiration, the snowdrop gives birth in our hearts to a loftier spiritual and poetic feeling, than the rose most complete in form, colour, and odour. The rose is of Paradise the snowdrop is of the striving, hoping, longing Earth. Perhaps our highest poetry is the expression of our aspirations in the sympathetic forms of visible nature.
I will cherish and love it as my dearest possession. He spoke so sadly that the good Dwarfs had pity on him, and gave him the coffin, and the Prince made his servants bear it away on their shoulders. Now it happened that as they were going down the hill they stumbled over a bush, and jolted the coffin so violently that the poisonous bit of apple Snowdrop had swallowed fell out of her throat.
She puzzled him greatly, and more than once he started at some peculiar intonation of her voice. "Little Snowdrop," he said, at last, "it seems to me I have known you all my life. Look at me, and say if we have met before?" Edith was too intent upon Nina's answer to notice Arthur, and she failed to see the spasm of pain and fear which passed over his face, leaving it paler than its wont.
As soon as the Queen got home she went straight to her mirror, and asked: 'Mirror, mirror, hanging there, Who in all the land's most fair? and it replied as before: 'My Lady Queen, you are fair, 'tis true, But Snowdrop is fairer far than you. Snowdrop, who dwells with the seven little men, Is as fair as you, as fair again. When she heard these words she literally trembled and shook with rage.
The fragile snowdrop, offspring of a night the mute herald of a coming and welcome guest might be seen peering beneath the gnarled oak, or enlivening the emerald circle beneath the wide-spreading elm. Spring too glided by, and another messenger came. The migratory swallow, returned from foreign travel, sought the ancient gable, and rejoicing in safety, commenced building a home.
"Will you not chop me down?" inquired the pine-tree, gruffly. "Will you not tear me from my tree?" asked the vine. "Will you not pluck my blossoms?" plaintively piped the snowdrop. "No, of course not," said Barbara; "I have come only to watch with you for the prince."
"Confound Dr Plaget" and he smote the pioneer across the pate, whereby he broke his stick, although, as I anticipated, without much hurting his man but the sergeant instantly saw his error, and with the piece of the baton he gave Snowdrop a tap on the shin bone, that set him pirouetting on one leg, with the other in his hand, like a tee totum.
It is only a daisy! only a primrose! only a pheasant-eye-narcissus! only a lily of the field! only a snowdrop! only a sweet-pea! only a brave yellow crocus!
When the apple was ready, she painted her face, disguised herself as a peasant-woman, and journeyed over the seven hills to where the seven dwarfs dwelt. At the sound of the knock, Snowdrop put her head out of the window, and said, "I cannot open the door to anybody, for the seven dwarfs have forbidden me to do so." "Very well," replied the peasant-woman; "I only want to be rid of my apples.
