lid waiting for something to rise as the something's always did. Imagine
His surprise, bellowing above the general noise, "Where is Effie? She

Beginning is a word
that means a new start
Forever is a word
that doesn't play its part
Breeze is a word
talking about the wind
Fresh is a word
telling how to begin.

Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning. - Works and Days.
