“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.”

“I NEVER lost as much but twice, And that was in the sod; Twice have I stood a beggar Before the door of God! Angels, twice descending,Reimbursed my store. Burglar, banker, father, I am poor once more!”

“I took my Power in my Hand --And went against the World --'Twas not so much as David -- had --But I -- was twice as bold --I aimed by Pebble -- but MyselfWas all the one that fell --Was it Goliath -- was too large --Or was myself -- too small?”

“Nature is what we know / Yet have not art to say / So impotent our wisdom is / To her simplicity.”

“That love is all there is, Is all we know of love.”

“That Love is all there isIs all we know of Love,It is enough, the freight should beProportioned to the groove.”

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