The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

Attain the unattainable.

Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?

Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell when I embark.

So many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

The wind sounds like a silver wire, And from beyond the noon a fire Is pour'd upon the hills, and nigher The skies stoop down in their desire; And, isled in sudden seas of light, My heart, pierced thro' with fierce delight, Bursts into blossom in his sight.
