But earth solid earth is the home of the mortal That toileth to live, and that liveth to toil; And the green olive-tree twines the wreath of his portal Who peacefully wins his sure bread from the soil," Thus Jove: and to heaven the council celestial Rose, and the sea-god rolled back to the sea; But Athena gave Athens her name, and terrestrial Joy from the oil of the green olive-tree.
This easy capacity of great affections for small duties is the peculiar triumph of the highest spirit of love. How quietly she lies!

Tread softly near her, dear ones!

As we enter this valley, the first object that meets our view is a small red-colored cottage. A vine twines itself gracefully over one of the windows, the glass panes of which glisten through the green leaves, which slightly parted, disclose the sober visage of an ancient black cat, that is demurely looking forth upon the door yard.
He hardly breathed, disturbed to his very depths by the young figure sitting by his side, and by the dread of showing that disturbance. Beside the cultivated plant the self-sown poppy rears itself; round the stem of a smooth tree the honeysuckle twines; to a trim wall the ivy clings.
Then, twice having twisted the twines of his twine, He twisteth the twine he had twined in twine. The twain, that in twining before in the twine, As twines were entwisted, he now doth untwine, 'Twixt the twain intertwisting a twine more between." Nancy gave her remarkable performance in a clear, thin treble. It was a monotonous melody, but suited the words very well.
