"There is a mirror in my room Less like a mirror than a tomb, There are so many ghosts that pass Across the surface of the glass."
"St. Brigid, please keep My babies asleep!"
"When people inquire I always just state: "I have four nice children and hope to have eight."
"Deborah danced, when she was two, As buttercups and daffodils do; Spirited, frail, naïvely bold, Her hair a ruffled crest of gold."
