How very sad it is to have a confiding nature, one's hopes and feelings are quite at the mercy of all who come along; and how very desirable to be a stolid individual, whose hopes and aspirations are safe in one's waistcoat pocket, and that a pocket indeed, and one not to be picked!
Emily DickinsonSome keep the Sabbath going to church, I keep it staying at home, with a bobolink for a chorister, and an orchard for a dome.
