William Wordsworth
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
Life is divided into three terms — that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
