Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.

These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night's arms.

When love is not madness, it is not love.

They say that the best counsel is that of woman. [Sp., Dicen, que el primer consejo Ha de ser de la muger.]

A woman needs a stronger head than her own for counsel--she should marry. [Sp., Una muger no tiene. Valor para el consejo, y la conviene Casarse.]

Love that is not madness is not love.
