- And this was your Cradle? Why, surely, my Jenny,
Such cozy dimensions go clearly to show
You were an exceedingly small pickaninny,
Some nineteen or twenty short summers ago.- The old Cradle.
- "Vanitas vanitatum" has rung in the ears
Of gentle and simple for thousands of years;
The wail still is heard, yet its notes never scare
Either simple or gentle from Vanity Fair.- Vanity Fair.
- What an arm—what a waist
For an arm!- To My Grandmother.
- The world's as ugly, ay, as Sin,—
And almost as delightful.- The Jester's Plea.
