Some verses attributed to W.J.A. Rowe) When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

A frequent error in quoting it is the substitution of the word “well for right”. Browning is no such shallow optimist as to believe that all is well with the world, but he does maintain that things are right with the world, [...]]]> http://www.busy-moms-online.com/435/pippas-song/feed/ http://www.busy-moms-online.com/434/the-chambered-nautilus/ http://www.busy-moms-online.com/434/the-chambered-nautilus/#comments Sat, 18 Mar 2006 20:47:59 +0000 admin http://www.busy-moms-online.com/?p=434 The nautilus is a small mollusk that creeps upon the bottom of the sea, though it used to be supposed to swim, or even to spread a kind of sail so that the wind might drive it along the surface.
