I like good strong words that mean something…
life and love are very precious when both are in full bloom.
…wisely mingled poetry and prose.
I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is the leaving you all. I'm not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven.
But, like all happiness, it did not last long…
Well, I am happy, and I won't fret, but it does seem as if the more one gets the more one wants…
Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!
…feeling as if all the happiness and support of their lives was about to be taken from them.
