Life is a mystery as deep as ever death can be.

What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father.

Luxuries unfit us for returning to hardships easily endured before.

[On The Netherlands:] ... the entire country is a kind of saturated sponge.

But I believe that God is overheadAnd as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.

Grandma told me all about it, Told me so I couldn't doubt it, How she danced, my grandma danced; long ago.

She waits for me, my lady Earth, Smiles and waits and sighs; I'll say her nay, and hide away, Then take her by surprise.

[On the Netherlands:] There is not a richer or more carefully tilled garden spot in the whole world than this leaky, springy little country.

But when a snowflake, brave and meek,Lights on a rosy maiden's cheek,It starts-"How warm and soft the day!""'T is summer!" and it melts away.
