“I wish I had feathers, a fine sweeping gown,
And a delicate face, and could strut about Town!
My deara raw country girl, such as you be,
Cannot quite expect that. You aint ruined, said she.”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
“I reverently believe that the Maker who made us all makes everything in New England but the weather.

—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
