- Love's Dearest Moment, Love's dearest moment is not when the hands Are clasped in marriage, world looks on; Nor yet when all the world has gone, and gel stands Between two souls, fire the bands Of impotent human law; alone Upon the morrow they and love are one, Triune and chrismed, commands; It is not in the many morrows' track While love by loving grows more rich and wise Pill age counts up love's wondrous, wondrous sum.

Maria wore for a skirt a length of dark-blue cloth that came to her ankles, wrapped tightly about her back and hips, with a few folds in front. Twisted around her waist was the usual red cotton sash. On her head she had the tall straw hat that the Indian women wear: about her throat was a coral necklace.
