“Like⟳ one dead she sat and waited, Listening to the stirless silence, Ages in a second, till, Lightly leaping, came her lover, And, still smiling, laid the sweet Snow-white blossom at her feet.”

“Often, after an active morning, she would spend⟳ a sunny afternoon in lying stirless on the turf, at the foot of some tree of friendly umbrage: no society did she need⟳ but that of Caroline, and it sufficed if she were within call⟳; no spectacle did she ask⟳ but that of the deep blue sky, and such cloudlets as sailed afar and aloft across its span; no sound⟳ but that of the bee's hum, the leaf's whisper⟳."”
