Martin Buxbaum:
Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.
I many times thought peace had come:
I many times thought peace had come,
When peace was far away;
As wrecked men deem they sight the land
At centre of the sea,
And struggle slacker, but to prove, 5
As hopelessly as I,
How many the fictitious shores
Before the harbor lie.

In the receipt. It was the distance
Was savory.

A Life-Saving Cow:
Man Injured at Fast Food Place:
The body grows outside:
The body grows outside,—
The more convenient way,—

Its temple stands alway
Ajar, secure, inviting; 5
It never did betray
The soul that asked its shelter
In timid honesty
Song to Celia:
Amoretti:
Happy ye leaves when as those lily hands,
Which hold my life in their dead-doing might,
Shall handle you and hold in love's soft bands,
Like captives trembling at the victor's sight.
And happy lines, on which with starry light,
Those lamping eyes will deign sometimes to look
And read the sorrows of my dying sprite,
Written with tears in heart's close-bleeding book.
And happy rhymes bath'd in the sacred brook,
Of Helicon whence she derived is,
When ye behold that Angel's blessed look,
My soul's long-lacked food, my heaven's bliss.
Leaves, lines, and rhymes, seek her to please alone,
Whom if ye please, I care for other none.

The Fox and the Goat:
By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he could not get out. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards, and asked the Fox what he was doing down there. ‘Oh, have you not heard?’ said the Fox; ‘there is going to be a great
drought, so I jumped down here in order to be sure to have water by me. Why don’t you come down too?’ The Goat thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well. But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting
his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well. ‘Good-bye, friend,’ said the Fox, ‘remember next time,
‘Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.’
The Old Woman and the Wine-Jar:
You must know that sometimes old women like a glass of wine. One of this sort once found a Wine-jar lying in the road, and eagerly went up to it hoping to find it full. But when she took it up she found that all the wine had been drunk out of it. Still she took a long sniff at the mouth of the Jar. ‘Ah,’ she cried,
‘What memories cling ‘round the instruments of our pleasure.’
Mine enemy is growing old:
Mine enemy is growing old,—
I have at last revenge.
The palate of the hate departs;

Anger as soon as fed is dead;
’t is starving makes it fat.
