    Was I in here last night and did I spend a twenty dollar bill? What a load that is off my mind! I thought I’d lost it!

    But what we strive to gratify, though we may call it a distant hope, is an immediate desire; the future estate for which men drudge up city alleys exists already in their imagination and love.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    For in this yellow grave of sand and sea
    A calling for colour calls with the wind
    That’s grave and gay as grave and sea
    Sleeping on either hand.
