| If the people of Friesland have great individuality, so have their meers. |
| So much for the shape of meers and their dimensions in the case of a vena profunda. |
| Slashed by rivers and canals, pocked with polders, meers and lakes and meshed in a web of interconnecting drainage ditches, the Netherlands are a long distance skater's dream. |
| There are little girls called Sorrow Meers and Dosy Dearn, and a child found on the church steps who was given the apt name Jobe Foundling. |
