She was so absorbed in thinking of the pleasure in store for Agnes, and imagining what she would say, that she sang the three measures over and over, unheeding how long the choir stuck there, or uncaring how many times they seesawed up and down on the same tiresome notes.
For the rest, the world and its fame and wealth, 'all is vanity. The gods may perhaps have a particular care for him, but their especial care is for the universe at large: thus much should suffice. His gods are better than the Stoic gods, who sit aloof from all human things, untroubled and uncaring, but his personal hope is hardly stronger.
But in the meantime, awaiting the publication of the books, he must do something more than live dazed and stupid in the sort of uncaring trance into which he had fallen. He noted, one Sunday morning, that the Bricklayers' Picnic took place that day at Shell Mound Park, and to Shell Mound Park he went.
When you begin to feel all fussed up, worried, and cross, frayed at the edges, and down at the heel go out and look up at the stars. They are so serene, detached, and uncaring!

The deep sadness of a wounded spirit touched her own, she scarcely knew why. It was but the law of her unwarped, unselfish nature. Even as a happy girl she could not pass by uncaring, on the other side.

And still the train flew on, as though it knew; on it flew, as though the unseen Wrestler himself had his hand upon the engine's throat. The sun was rising when he left the train. The train flew on, uncaring, for trains know not that they are carriers unto destiny.
