Image
I love to go and mingle with the young In the gay festal room--when every heart Is beating faster than the merry tune, And their blue eyes are restless, and their lips Parted with eager joy, and their round cheeks Flush'd with the beautiful motion of the dance.
Nathaniel Parker Willis

Image
Youth is beautiful its friendship is precious the intercourse with it is a purifying release from the worn and stained harness of older life.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Image
Vulgarity is more obvious in satin than in homespun.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
Image
The night is made for tenderness,--so still that the low whisper, scarcely audible, is heard like music,--and so deeply pure that the fond thought is chastened as it springs and on the lip made holy.
