I Did Not Know What It Was

Just About This Time, When In Imagination I Was So Great A Warrior, I Had Good Use In Real Life For More Strength, As I Was No Longer Taken To School By The Nurse, But Instead Had Myself To Protect My Brother, Two Years My Junior.

Birth Was Something That Came Quite Unexpectedly, And Afterwards There Was One Child More In The House.

My Father, Though, Could Run Very Much Faster. It Was Impossible To Compete With Him On The Grass. But It Was Astonishing How Slow Old People Were. Some Of Them Could Not Run Up A Hill And Called It Trying To Climb Stairs.

What Is Public Opinion? It Is Private Indolence.

I Became An Ardent, But Never A Specially Good, Dancer.
