Tis light translateth night; 'tis inspiration Expounds experience; 'tis the west explains The east; 'tis time unfolds Eternity.
I am tired of looking on what is, One might as well see beauty never more, As look upon it with an empty eye. I would this world were over. I am tired.
Ah, nothing comes to us too soon but sorrow.
Dewdrops, Nature's tears, which she Sheds in her own breast for the fair which die. The sun insists on gladness; but at night, When he is gone, poor Nature loves to weep.
Stars which stand as thick as dewdrops on the field of heaven.
The sun, centre and sire of light, The keystone of the world-built arch of heaven.
Ask not of me, love, what is love? Ask what is good of God above; Ask of the great sun what is light; Ask what is darkness of the night; Ask sin of what may be forgiven; Ask what is happiness of heaven; Ask what is folly of the crowd; Ask what is fashion of the shroud; Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss; Ask of thyself what beauty is.

Grief hallows hearts, even while it ages heads.
Death is the universal salt of states; Blood is the base of all things--law and war.

Fulfill thy fate! Be-do-bear-and thank God.
Evil and good are God's right hand and left.
Thou art a woman, And that is saying the best and worst of thee.
Envy's a coal comes hissing hot from Hell.
Life hath more awe than death.
How slight a chance may raise or sink a soul!
Music tells no truths.
What are ye orbs? The words of God? the Scriptures of the skies?
