But if you would laugh when others laugh and weep when they weep then you must be prepared to die as they die and live as they live

An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged: no harm can be done.

It is a lovely night, and they are much to be pitied who have not been taught to feel, in some degree, as you do; who have not, at least, been given a taste for Nature in early life. They lose a great deal.

Late evening, on the first of May—
The twilit May—the time of love.
Meltingly called the turtle-dove,
Where rich and sweet pinewoods lay.
Whispered of love the mosses frail,
The flowering tree as sweetly lied,
The rose’s fragrant sigh replied
To love-songs of the nightingale.
In shadowy woods the burnished lake
Darkly complained a secret pain,
By circling shores embraced again;
And heaven’s clear sun leaned down to take
A road astray in azure deeps,
Like burning tears the lover weeps.

Máj, Karel Hynek Mácha (1810-1836)

She has all the amazing qualities of womanhood: a low voice, a statuesque figure, dark midnight eyes, moonlight skin—and youth, the grace of a little girl. And consciousness. And sadness. And simplicity. And finally, the one woman in whose eyes I see humility, not vanity. A proud and secret darkness surrounds her.
