beautiful young pale
She was young and very beautiful, but pale, like the grey pallor of death.
beautiful dream country
Far, far away, there is a beautiful Country which no human eye has ever seen in waking hours. Under the Sunset it lies, where the distant horizon bounds the day, and where the clouds, splendid with light and colour, give a promise of the glory and beauty which encompass it. Sometimes it is given to us to see it in dreams.
beautiful fall snow
And so we remained till the red of the dawn began to fall through the snow gloom. I was desolate and afraid, and full of woe and terror. But when that beautiful sun began to climb the horizon life was to me again.
beautiful soul world
The only beautiful thing in the world whose beauty lasts for ever is a pure, fair soul.
light darkness beautiful-books
There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.

Sleep has no place it can call its own.

men hands light
She is one of God's women fashioned by His own hand to show us men and other women that there is a heaven where we can enter, and that its light can be here on earth.
free-will count-dracula
Enter freely and of your own free will!
loneliness wings brooding
Loneliness will sit over our roofs with brooding wings.
