198. lappuse - We opened it by the tapers' shine : The gems were all unchanged : the face Was — neither his nor mine. " One nail drives out another, at least ! The face of the portrait there," I cried, " Is our friend's the Raphael-faced young Priest, Who confessed her when she died.
403. lappuse - Talk not of genius baffled. Genius is master of man. \ Genius does what it must, and talent does what it can.
196. lappuse - With her primrose face, for old things are best; And the flower in her bosom, I prize it above The brooch in my lady's breast. The world is filled with folly and sin, And love must cling where it can, I say: For beauty is easy enough to win; But one is n't loved every day.

20. lappuse - The man who seeks one thing in life, and but one. May hope to achieve it before life be done ; But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes, Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows A harvest of barren regrets.
196. lappuse - The world is filled with folly and sin, And love must cling where it can, I say: For beauty is easy enough to win ; But one isn't loved every day.

196. lappuse - With the jasmine in her breast. She is not dead, and she is not wed! But she loves me now, and she loved me then ! And the very first word that her sweet lips said, My heart grew youthful again.
401. lappuse - Ay, there are some good things in life, that fall not away with the rest. And, of all best things upon earth, I hold that a faithful friend is the best.
195. lappuse - I thought of our little quarrels and strife, And the letter that brought me back my ring ; And it all seemed then, in the waste of life, Such a very little thing ! For I thought of her grave below the hill, Which the sentinel cypress-tree stands over ; And I thought "Were she only living still, How I could forgive her and love her ! " And I swear as I thought of her thus in that hour.
