    a halcyon weather, halcyon days of youth

    haughty aristocrats

    he didn"t heed our warnings

    to hew a passage through the crowd / hew a statue from a block of marble

    to holster a gun

    to hone his skills as a sculptor

    coward and ignoble attitude

    inured to cold, to hardship

    they put a lien on her house

    to lionize the visiting poet

    to loll in a sofa
