It was really dreadful to be so different from other people…and yet rather wonderful, too, as if you were a being strayed from another star.

When twilight drops her curtain down And pins it with a star Remember that you have a friend Though she may wander far.

She had a way of embroidering life with stars.

The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope; big stars were shining over the silent fields; here and there the dark pointed firs stood up with snow powdering their branches and the wind whistling through them.

Twilight drops her curtain down, and pins it with a star.

In imagination she sailed over storied seas that wash the distant shining shores of "faëry lands forlorn," where lost Atlantis and Elysium lie, with the evening star for pilot, to the land of Heart's Desire. And she was richer in those dreams than in realities; for things seen pass away, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
