Moon and Sea You are the moon, dear love, and I the sea: The tide of hope swells high within my breast, And hides the rough dark rocks of life's unrest When your fond eyes smile near in perigee. But when that loving face is turned from me, Low falls the tide, and the grim rocks appear, And earth's dim coast-line seems a thing to fear. You are the moon, dear one, and I the sea.
Ella Wheeler WilcoxDo you wish the world were better? Let me tell you what to do: Set a watch upon your actions, Keep them always straight and true.
Ella Wheeler WilcoxThere is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
