My harvest's come, and yet I reapt no corne: My love is great, and yet I am forlorne. View quote

Leo Tolstoy
Saturday morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life. There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young, the music issued at the lips. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step. The locust-trees were in bloom, and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air.
