Quotes
<< Prev
Cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt,
And cling to faith beyond the forms of faith;
She reels not at the storm of warring words;
She brightens at the clash of 'Yes' and 'No';
She sees the best that glimmers through the worst;
She feels the sun is hid for the night;
She spies the summer through the winter bud;
She tastes the fruit before the blossom falls;
She hears the lark within the songless egg;
She finds the fountain where they wailed 'Mirage!'
And cling to faith beyond the forms of faith;
She reels not at the storm of warring words;
She brightens at the clash of 'Yes' and 'No';
She sees the best that glimmers through the worst;
She feels the sun is hid for the night;
She spies the summer through the winter bud;
She tastes the fruit before the blossom falls;
She hears the lark within the songless egg;
She finds the fountain where they wailed 'Mirage!'
