God gives us love! Something to love He lends us; but when love is grown To ripeness, that on which it throve Falls off, and love is left alone: This is the curse of time.

Faith lives in honest doubt.

All things are taken from us, and become Portions and parcels of the dreadful past.

the shell must break before the bird can fly.

God and Nature met in light.

Where love could walk with banish'd Hope no more.

What the sunshine is to the flower, the Lord Jesus Christ is to my soul.
