• And each year now
  we know more, but we know no better —
  what we see in the sky is simply
  the softened gloss of the past sifting
  back to us, and likewise, every atom
  down the body’s shining length
  was inside a star, and will be again.

• You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself flowers in your veins,
  till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and
  perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than
  so, because men and women are in it who are every one sole heirs as well
  as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight, as misers do in gold, and
  kings in scepters, you never enjoy the world.
