Frederick McCubbin, Down on His Luck, 1889

- Everything around you affects you. Do you know what I mean? It must be the same for you.
- For me? No, no, it's always the same.
- It can't be.
- What, so, even if it's raining or the sun's shining, or someone smiles at you a little?
- Someone smiles at you a little... Say that again.

Portrait of a Girl at Dusk by Alexander Mann (date unknown; d. 1908)

John Anderson, my jo, John,
When we were first acquent;
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonie brow was brent;
But now your brow is beld, John,
Your locks are like the snaw;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson, my jo.

John Anderson, my jo, John,
We clamb the hill thegither;
And mony a cantie day, John,
We've had wi' ane anither:
Now we maun totter down, John,
And hand in hand we'll go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.

Here's a bottle and an honest friend
What wad ye wish for mair, man?
Wha kens, before his life may end,
What his share may be o' care, man?

Then catch the moments as they fly,
And use them as ye ought, man;
Believe me, happiness is shy,
And comes no ay when sought, man!
