Charlotte Bronte quotes about
sky steel world
I like this day; I like that sky of steel; I like the sternness and stillness of the world under this frost.

thinking performances
Let your performance do the thinking.
morning spring night
My wretched feet, flayed and swollen to lameness by the sharp air of January, began to heal and subside under the gentler breathings of April; the nights and mornings no longer by their Canadian temperature froze the very blood in our veins; we could now endure the play-hour passed in the garden.
