But he gazed beyond them, and into the blue eyes came the light of exaltation such as is inspired by music that starts a Heartstring in vague trembling.
"The Missourian"
Eugene P. (Eugene Percy) Lyle
When the eyelids become weary, it is as if little red dancing shoes were being wrapped away forever, or a very tight Heartstring had suddenly sagged, and when plucked at could no longer plong.
"The Vertical City"
Fannie Hurst
Hallow with praise the wheeling days Until the cord goes slack, Until the very Heartstring frays, Until the stiffening back Can ply no more; keep then the door, And, thankful in the sun, Watch you the same unending war Ontaken by your son.
"The Village Wife's Lament"
Maurice Hewlett
