The evening wind made such a disturbance just now, among some tall old elm-trees at the bottom of the garden, that neither my mother nor miss betsey could forbear glancing that way. as the elms bent to one another, like giants who were whispering secrets, and after a few seconds of such repose, fell into a violent flurry, tossing their wild arms about, as if their late confidences were really too wicked for their peace of mind.

More From Charles Dickens

I used to smoke marijuana. but i'll tell you something: i would only smoke it in the late evening. oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. just the early evening, midevening and late evening. occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . but never at dusk!
Funny Weed Morning
Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him

The repose necessary to all beauty is repose, not of inanition, nor of luxury, nor of irresolution, but the repose of magnificent energy and being; in action, the calmness of trust and determination; in rest, the consciousness of duty accomplished and of victory won; and this repose and this felicity can take place as well in the midst of trial and tempest, as beside the waters of comfort.

No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.
Loyalty Country School
From the great trees the locusts cry in quavering ecstatic duo-a boy shouts a wild call-a mourning dove in the blue distance sobs-the wind wanders by, heavy with odors of corn and wheat and melon vines; the trees tremble with delirious joy as the breeze greets them, one by one-now the oak now the great sycamore, now the elm.

My dad once told me that he would rather i had an old boyfriend than a tall boyfriend. i don't know why, i think he's just feels stressed by... he' not that short i just think the idea of a really tall guy is super anxiety producing to him. and now i'm with neither old guy nor a very tall guy. so everything has worked out perfectly.
