The air was fragrant with a thousand trodden aromatic herbs, with fields of lavender, and with the brightest roses blushing in tufts all over the meadows.
Adversity is the nurse of greatness which roughly rocks her patients back to health.
A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows To beauty.
Still sweet with blossoms is the year's fresh prime.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again.
Sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
