Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Mellow nuts have the hardest rind.
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
