πŸ’¬ Usage Examples

β€œHow happy is the little stone That rambles in the road alone, And doesn’t care about careers, And exigencies never fears; Whose coat of elemental brown A passing universe put on; And independent as the sun, Associates or glows alone, Fulfilling absolute decree In casual simplicity.” Emily Dickinson; Poems by Emily Dickinson: Second Series; Roberts Brothers; 1891.
