Once on a time, as poets sing
High tales with fancy laden,
Born of a very noble king
There lived a wondrous maiden.
An only child, her kinsfolk boon,
So fair, imagination faints;
As though amidst the stars the moon,
Or Mary amidst the saints.
From 'neath the castle's dark retreat,
Her silent way she wended
Each evening to the window-seat
Where Lucifer attended.
And secretly, with never fail,
She watched his double race,
Where vessels drew their pathless trail
Across the ocean's face.
And as intent she drank his light,
Desire was quickly there;
While he who saw her every night
Soon fell in love with her.
And sitting thus with rested head,
Her elbows on the sill,
Her heart by youthful fancy led
Did with deep longing fill.
While he, a brilliant shining spark,
Glowed always yet more clear
Towards the castle tall and dark
Where she would soon appear.
Until one night with shower of rays
He slips into her room,
As though a strange and silver haze
Did round about her loom.
And when at last the child to rest
Upon her sofa lies,
He lays her arms across her breast
And closes her soft eyes.
While where his ray on mirror lands
And is upon her couch red rifted,
It falls upon her throat and hands
And on her face uplifted.
A smile is on her lips it seems;
He in the mirror trembles,
For smooth his ray glides midst her dreams
And round her soul assembles.
And while she is in slumber gone
She murmurs through her sighs:
Never mind!

Get the The Saint Who Fell mug.Tim said to his friend Jim "The tree fell down right here." and not even a few seconds later a tree had fallen down on Jim. He was fine in the end but he had to get another job because he couldn't afford to pay his medical bills to the Hospital.

Get the The tree fell down mug.It’s when your foot gets pins and needles, or any part of your body! But when it gets pins and needles, you are just rephrasing “pins and needles”
Ex:
*martha has had her foot under her thigh folded for a while*
Martha: that was a good movie!
*marthat stands up*
Martha: ow my foot fell asleep!

Get the my foot fell asleep mug.Relentlessly nagged someone to the extent they get what they want, but the outcome is worse than they hoped. Shaking a nut tree too vigorously will release good nuts along with nuts that are not ready to harvest. The relationship becomes damaged as the nut tree can also be.
Anna wanted Dave to buy her a new phone. Dave knew that a new model would be coming out soon, but Anna would not wait. She pestered him relentlessly. She “shook him till his nuts fell off”.
Dave bought Anna the new phone, but the phone was not as good as the subsequent version.
