horse hard-times feelings
I had a hard time treating my field as if it's horse racing, putting actors in competition against each other.

With such people the gray head is but the impression of the old fellow's hand in giving them his blessing, and every wrinkle but a notch in the quiet calendar of a well-spent life.
children sea play
