Piu Avanti

 Don’t embrace defeat, even defeated,

Proceed like God, who never cries,
or like Lucifer, who never prays;
or be like the oak grove, whose grandeur
has need of water and won’t beg…

Extract from the poem "Piu Avanti," by Pedro Bonifacio Palacios (1854 – 1917)

Little Rascal

She's one of my smaller dolls; a barefoot cutie, 8 inches tall, and despite her small size, has quite a personality too! 

When I pick her up, she gives me a certain 'look', as if saying "Put me down now, I'm not a baby, you know!"

Jenny Kiss'd Me

Jenny kiss’d me when we met,

Jumping from the chair she sat in;

Time, you thief, who love to get

Sweets into your list, put that in!

Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,

Say that health and wealth have miss’d me,

Say I’m growing old, but add,

Jenny kiss’d me.

Bath time

Little Billie doesn't like taking a bath, that much is clear from his behaviour. But no matter how much he cries and moans, he always ends up clean and proper and smelling of soap. Good boy, Billie, you 'survived' another bath!

Hugsjá

Hugsjá - Norwegian for: 'to see with, or within, the mind'

Alice

As the room behind her slowly fills with shadows, Alice looks to the outside and waits. Soon, when it gets dark, her friends will come to play.
