More From Nathaniel Hawthorne

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

Winds of may, that dance on the sea, dancing a ring-around in glee from furrow to furrow, while overhead the foam flies up to be garlanded, in silvery arches spanning the air, saw you my true love anywhere? welladay! welladay! for the winds of may! love is unhappy when love is away!

"i got screwed." "you got the pile of money?" "yeah, i'm fine." i mean, that's the way it works.
Mean People Looks
This one isn’t just any old horse. there’s a nobility in his eye, a regal serenity about him. does he not personify all that men try to be and never can be? i tell you, my friend, there’s divinity in a horse, and specially in a horse like this. god got it right the day he created them. and to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap. we don’t belong in the same universe as a creature like this.

I am not involved in any 'issues' because it's too sensitive for me - or my wife - to get involved. every time we express an opinion it becomes a whole thing in itself. and the whole purpose of living in the countryside was to get away from hundreds of people. my wife fell off a horse, and suddenly there are hundreds of people around.
