"It is not graceful, and it makes one hot; but it is blessed sort of work, and if Eve had had a spade in Paradise and known what to do with it, we should not have had all that sad business of the apple." ~Countess Elizabeth von Arnim
"...this was the simple happiness of complete harmony with her surroundings, the happiness that asks for nothing, that just accepts, just breathes, just is." ~Countess Elizabeth von Arnim (1866-1941)
"Non Degener Addam" (I add without loss)
