# Mine and Thine (1904)/"Ask What You Will"

"ASK WHAT YOU WILL"
Ask what you will, I must obey your hest! Thus much, my lady-bird, seems manifest To you and me, who well each other know; What you, small tyrant, beg, I must bestow. Come; falter not, but proffer your request!
Is it the flower I wear here on my breast? My favorite nag? The book I love the best? Some dainty gown? Some brooch or necklace? No? Ask what you will!
​See how the sun, down-sinking to his rest, Gilds with his glory all the roseate west! I linger on, in life's chill afterglow. Nay; smile, beloved!—like your mother—so! Stay but a moment! Now—my own! my blest! Ask what you will.
# Mine and Thine (1904)/"Blessèd"

"BLESSÈD"
Blessèd: so have they named her. With just pride, Deliberate care, and cautious circumstance, The Holy Council have beatified The Maid of Orleans, martyred child of France, Who, at Domrèmy's village altar kneeling,— Ignored by friend and foe, Through all her young unsullied spirit feeling The tears of a despairing people flow,— Implored relief; and following the word Which none save she had heard, Delivered France, and crowned her—long ago. ​Rejoice, Domrèmy, 'midst thy bowery green! She was thine own, whom all, at last, would claim— The greatest miracle that Earth hath seen Since out of Nazareth a Saviour came. Lowly as thou (though sheathed in armor bright), Her soul was as the snow— Yea, as the lilies of her banner, white. The Church hath blessed her; but man's heart, less slow, Remembering her service and the price Of her dear sacrifice, Gave her the name of blessèd—long ago.
# Mine and Thine (1904)/"Give Me Not Love"

"GIVE ME NOT LOVE"
Give me not love which would inthrall A spirit panting to be free; But give me love which more than all Would find it sweet to soar with me! The bird that close to earth doth cling, May, darkling, be content to sing, But full the sunlight shines afar— And there be heights where eagles are.
Give me not love which hour by hour, Like to the rose, doth pale its hue; ​But love still constant as the flower Which opens to each morn anew: Not love which, shadowed by the tomb, A little space doth languid bloom, But love which draws its deeper breath From altitudes that know not death.
# Mine and Thine (1904)/"I Longed for Love"

"I LONGED FOR LOVE"
Ilonged for love, and eager to discover Its hiding-place, I wandered far and wide; And as forlorn I sought the lone world over, Unrecognized, love journeyed at my side.
I craved for peace, and priceless years expended In unrewarded search from shore to shore; But home returned, the weary seeking ended, Peace welcomed me where dwelt my peace of yore!

# Mine and Thine (1904)/"Breathless We Strive"

"BREATHLESS WE STRIVE"
Breathless we strive, contending for success, According to the standards of our day. What is success? Is it to find a way Wealth out of all proportion to possess? Is it to care for simple pleasures less (While grasping at a more extended sway), And sacrificing to our gods of clay, Submerge the soul, at last, in worldliness?
By Grasmere stands a cottage small and poor: The Dove was once its emblem, and the sign That marked it as a wayside inn obscure; ​But, frugal, dwelt high consecration here, And grateful thought still guards it as a shrine, Hallowed by that success which time but makes more dear!
# Mine and Thine (1904)/"Go Not Too Far"

"GO NOT TOO FAR"
Go not too far—too far beyond my gaze, Thou who canst never pass beyond the yearning Which, even as the dark for dawning stays, Awaits thy loved returning!
Go not too far! Howe'er thy fancies roam, Let them come back, wide-circling like the swallow, Lest I, for very need, should try to come— And find I could not follow!

# Micrographia/Chapter 40

Observ. XL. Of the Teeth of a Snail.
I Have little more to add of the Teeth of a Snail, besides the Picture of it, which is represented in the first Figure of the 25. Scheme, save that his bended body, A B C D E F, which seem'd fashioned very much like a row of small teeth, orderly plac'd in the Gums, and looks as if it ​ Schem. XXV. ​were divided into several smaller and greater black teeth, was nothing but one small bended hard bone, which was plac'd in the upper jaw of the mouth of a House-Snail, with which I observ'd this very Snail to feed on the leaves of a Rose-tree, and to bite out pretty large and half round bits, not unlike the Figure of a (C) nor very much differing from it in bigness, the upper part A B C D of this bone, I found to be much whiter, and to grow out of the upper chap of the Snail, G G G, and not to be any thing neer so much creas'd as the lower and blacker part of it H I I H K K H which was exactly shap'd like teeth, the bone growing thinner, or tapering to an edge towards K K K. It seem'd to have nine teeth, or prominent parts I K, I K, I F, &c. which were join'd together by the thinner interpos'd parts of the bone. The Animal to which these teeth belong, is a very anomalous creature, and seems of a kind quite distinct from any other terrestrial Animal or Insect, the Anatomy whereof exceedingly differing from what has been hitherto given of it I should have inserted, but that it will be more proper in another place. I have never met with any kind of Animal whose teeth are all join'd in one, save onely that I lately observ'd, that all the teeth of a Rhinocerot, which grow on either side of its mouth, are join'd into one large bone, the weight of one of which I found to be neer eleven pound Haverdupois. So that it seems one of the biggest sort of terrestrial Animals, as well as one of the smallest, has his teeth thus shap'd.

​BRABOURNE (Lord), The Right Hon. Edward Hugessen Knatchbull-Hugessen, is a son of the late Right Hon. Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bart., of Mersham Hatch, Kent, many years M.P. for East Kent, and at one time Paymaster of the Forces under Sir Robert Peel, by his second marriage with Fanny Catharine, daughter of Mr. Edward Knight, of Godmersham Park, Kent, and of Chawton House, Hampshire. He was born at Mersham Hatch April 29, 1829, and educated at Eton and at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1850. He entered the House of Commons as M.P. for Sandwich in April, 1857, and represented that constituency in the Liberal interest until his elevation to the peerage. He was a Lord of the Treasury from June, 1859, till May, 1866; Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department from Dec., 1868, to Jan., 1871; and Under-Secretary for the Colonies from the last-named date to Feb., 1874. He was Chairman of the Treasury Commission which sat in Dublin in 1866 (the other members being Sir Richard Mayne, Sir Donald Macgregor, Col. Ward, and Mr. Law), to inquire into the condition of the Irish Constabulary, which at that time had no fewer than 1500 vacancies. The result of the investigation was an increase of their pay, and improvement of their condition, the force being thus restored to its former popularity. Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen was sworn of the Privy Council March 24, 1873; and in May, 1880, he was created Lord Brabourne, of Brabourne, in the county of Kent. His lordship is a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for Kent, and he assumed the name of Hugessen by Royal licence. He married, in 1852, Anna Maria Elizabeth, younger daughter of the Rev. M. R. Southwell, vicar of St. Stephen's, St. ​Albans, by whom he has two sons and as many daughters. His publications are:—"Stories for my Children," 1869; "Crackers for Christmas," 1870; "Moonshine," 1871; "Tales at Tea-time," 1872; "Queer Folk," 1873; "Whispers from Fairyland," 1874; "River Legends, or River Thames and Father Rhine," 1874; "Higgledy-Piggledy; or, Stories for Everybody and Everybody's Children," 1875; "Uncle Joe's Stories," 1878; and "Ferdinand's Adventure," 1883.
