An Ambitious Boy

I love the fact that what we know as a normal bicycle today was called a "safety bicycle" in the 19th century. The reason being that the alternative was to dare gravity and balance to crack your head open using one of these things.

The pure body of the Immaculate Virgin was not a prey for worms

Page from the book "Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God; with the History of the Devotion to Her. Completed by the Traditions of the East, the Writing of the Fathers, and the Private History of the Jews." The title actually keeps going, believe it or not. But I think that's quite enough. Published by D. & J. Sadler & Co., 31 Barclay St., New York, 1853. With gold leaf and orange dye.

My Little Twin Daughters

And, lovely pearls,
When little girls
No longer sit ye on my knee,
May winsome ways
And gladsome days
Twin sisters your companions be.
