Box - The Language of Flowers

Box.
There are two kinds of Box,-the Arborescent, which is twelve or sixteen feet high; and the Dwarf, which is used as a border for flower-beds.
Stoicism.

I ne'er will weep again!
I will meet fate with an unblenching eye:
For better far in proud contempt die,
Than idly talk of pain.

Can I not bear all things?
Who talks of weakness to a soul like mine?
Love, hope, pity, sorrow I resign,
And all that fortune brings.

In lonely strength I stand,
Unmoved though earthquakes open at my feet;
Though storms of malice on my bosom beat,
I can their rage withstand.
