" On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn 

 berries hung like clusters of coral-beads, as in those 

 fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels." 



— Dickens, in Martin Chuzzleioit. 



" A wonderful thing is a seed ; 



The one thing deathless forever — 

 Forever old and forever new. 

 Utterly faithful and utterly true — 



Fickle and faithless never."
