Cervantes smiled Spain's chivalry away. [ Byron ]

How sweetly did they float upon the wings
Of silence through the empty-vaulted night.
At every fall smoothing the raven down
Of darkness till it smiled! [ Milton ]

The world was sad! - the garden was a wild!
And man, the hermit, sighed - till woman smiled. [ Campbell ]

Hope smiled when your nativity was cast. Children of Summer! [ Wordsworth ]

She turned to him and smiled, but in that sort which makes not others smile. [ Byron ]

He smiled as men smile when they will not speak, because of something bitter in the thought. [ Mrs. Browning ]

I was walking in the street, a beggar stopped me, — a frail old man. His inflamed, tearful eyes, blue lips, rough rags, disgusting sores . . . oh, how horribly poverty had disfigured the unhappy creature! He stretched out to me his red, swollen, filthy hand. He groaned and whimpered for alms. I felt in all my pockets. No purse, watch, or handkerchief did I find. I had left them all at home. The beggar waited and his out-stretched hand twitched and trembled slightly. Embarrassed and confused, I seized his dirty hand and pressed it. Don't be vexed with me, brother; I have nothing with me, brother. The beggar raised his bloodshot eyes to mine; his blue lips smiled, and he returned the pressure of my chilled fingers. Never mind, brother, stammered he; thank you for this — this, too, was a gift, brother. I felt that I, too, had received a gift from my brother. [ Ivan Tourgueneff ]
