“Earth is a merry damsel, and heaven a knight so true”

“The worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride, Night unto day is married, morn unto eventide, Earth a merry damsel, and heaven a knight so true,And Earth is quite coquettish, and beseemeth in vain to sue.”

“Earth is crammed with Heaven.”

“My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to seeIf Immortality unveil A third event to me,So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell.Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.”

“Those who have not found the heaven below,will fail of it above.”

“I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.”

“Who has not found the heaven belowWill fail of it above.God's residence is next to min,His furniture is love.”
