asperity.
Valencia already half regretted having asked him. The chances were

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Love Songs by Sara Teasdale: Go by me with a wistful grace;
They pass, the sensitive, shy years,
As one who strives to dance, half blind with tears.
The years went by and never knew
That each one brought me nearer you;
Their path was narrow and apart
And yet it led me to your heart --
Oh, sensitive, shy years, oh, lonely years,
That strove to sing with voices drowned in tears.
Enough
It is enough for me by day
