I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.

No life that breathes with human breath
Has ever truly longed for death.

Self-reverence, self knowledge, self-control. These three alone lead life to sovereign power.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.

For I dipt into the future, as far as human eye can see, saw the vision of the world, and the wonder that would be.

A Farewell

Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,
Thy tribute wave deliver:
No more by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.

Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,
A rivulet then a river:
No where by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.

But here will sigh thine alder tree,
And here thine aspen shiver;
And here by thee will hum the bee,
For ever and for ever.

A thousand suns will stream on thee,
A thousand moons will quiver;
But not by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
