    • 1880, C. J., “Winter and Summer”, in The Sunday Magazine; For Family Reading, London: Isbister and Company Limited:
      Does not every bird's eye in its sapphire excellence recall a trusty bénédicité, "speed well,"—the story of lives compressed in two words? Smiles and tears enhalo it, and it surely accelerates our buoyancy of movement to the rivulet, where forget-me-nots—a treasure trove—are garrisoned by King Cup and Spear-grass.
