• After Nicholas hung up the phone, he watched his mother carry buckets and garden tools across the couch grass toward a bed that would, come spring, be brightly ablaze as tropical coral with colorful arctotis, impatiens, and petunias.

• How sweet to move at summer's eve
  By Clyde's meandering stream,
  When Sol in joy is seen to leave
  The earth with crimson beam;
  When islands that wandered far
  Above his sea couch lie,
  And here and there some gem-like star
  Re-opes its sparkling eye.
