Halaman 49 - We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives Who thinks most — feels the noblest — acts the best.
Halaman 157 - Poets are all who love — who feel great truths — And tell them ; and the truth of truths is love.
Halaman 24 - ... the world; It is this which ones us with the whole and God. Then first we wept; then closed and clung together; And my heart shook this building of my breast Like a live engine booming up and down: She fell upon me like a snow-wreath thawing. Never were bliss and beauty, love and woe, Ravelled and twined together into madness.
Halaman 21 - I loved her for that she was beautiful, And that to me she seemed to be all nature And all varieties of things in one; Would set at night in clouds of tears, and rise All light and laughter in the morning; fear No petty customs nor appearances, But think what others only dreamed about; And...
Halaman 25 - Ton round still star, which looks half suffering from, And half rejoicing in its own strong fire ; Making itself a lonelihood of light, Like Deity, where'er in Heaven it dwells.

Halaman 48 - ... never seen The age that had been. Why then fear or dream About the future ? Nothing but what is, is ; Else God were not the Maker that He seems, As constant in creating as in being. Embrace the present ! Let the future pass. Plague not thyself about a future. That Only which comes direct from God, His spirit, Is deathless. Nature gravitates without Effort ; and so all mortal natures fall Deathwards. All aspiration is a toil ; But inspiration cometh from above, And is no labour.
Halaman 47 - Who never doubted never half believed. Where doubt, there truth is — 'tis her shadow.
Halaman 23 - I forget that hand I took in mine, Pale as pale violets ; that eye, where mind And matter met alike divine ? ah, no ! May God that moment judge me when I do! Oh ! she was fair: her nature once all spring, And deadly beauty like a maiden sword ; Startlingly beautiful. I see her now! Whatever thou art thy soul is in my mind ; Thy shadow hourly lengthens o'er my brain, And peoples all its pictures with thyself.
Halaman 94 - America ! half-brother of the world ! With something good and bad of every land; Greater than thee have lost their seat— Greater scarce none can stand.
Halaman 60 - That when wrongs are to be redressed, such may Be done with mildness, speed, and firmness ; not With violence or hate, whereby one wrong Translates another ; both to Thee abhorrent. The bells of time are ringing changes fast. Grant, Lord ! that each fresh peal may usher in An era of advancement, that each change Prove an effectual lasting, happy gain.
