“You can’t buy loyalty, they say
I bought it though, the other day;
You can’t buy friendship, tried and true,
Well just the same, I bought that too.
I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not
For sale, Buy a brown-eyed puppy with
a stump for a tail.”

“From now on I want only good and simple things. A bushel of russet apples, a truckle of cheddar cheese, a firkin of bloodred wine. Linen sheets, washed in lavendar and hung on an old-fashioned rope in an orchard to dry in the sun and wind. A good book, a small dog, a single strand of pearls….”

“
“The Pixies”
‘Tis said their forms are tiny, yet
All human ills they can subdue,
Or with a wand or amulet
Can win a maiden’s heart for you;
And many a blessing know to stew
To make to wedlock bright;
Give honour to the dainty crew,
The Pixies are abroad tonight.
”— Samuel Minturn Peck
