Utility. 
Not enjoyment and not sorrow 
Is our destined end or way, 
But to act that each to-morrow 
Finds us farther than to-day. 
J-iONGFELLOW. 
Thus is Nature’s vesture wrought, 
To instruct our wandering thought; 
Thus she dresses green and gay, 
To dispense our cares away.

Guelder Rose 
Winter. Age. 
So we grew together, 
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, 
But yet a union in partition, 
Two lovely berries mouled on one stem; 
So with two seeming bodies, but one heart. 
JShakespeare.

Hawkweed 
Quick-sigh tedness. 
Creatures there be of sight so keen and high 
That even to the sun they bend their gaze; 
Others who, dazzled by too fierce a blaze, 
Issue not forth till evening veils the sky. 
Petrarch,
