Quotes



Another morn
Risen on mid-noon.
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven!
There is
One great society alone on earth:
The noble living and the noble dead.
Where the statue stood
Of Newton, with his prism and silent face,
The marble index of a mind forever
Voyaging through strange seas of thought alone.
