“In a world where thrushes sing and willow trees are golden in the spring, boredom should have been included among the seven deadly sins.”

“Of the seven deadly sins, lust is definitely the pick of the litter.”

“On a tree by a river a little tomtit
Sang "Willow, titwillow, titwillow"

"Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?"”

“On a tree by a river a little tomtit

"Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?" I cried,
"Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?"
With a shake of his poor little head he replied,
"Oh, Willow, titwillow, titwillow!"”
