Quotes

  • Are sorrows hard to bear,—the ruin&nbsp;&nbsp;Of flowers, the rotting of red fruit,A love’s decease, a life’s undoing,&nbsp;&nbsp;And summer slain, and song-birds mute,And skies of snow and bitter air?These things, you deem, are hard to bear.But ah, the burden, the delight&nbsp;&nbsp;Of dreadful joys! Noon opening wide,Golden and great; the gulfs of night,&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair deaths, and rent veils cast aside,Strong soul to strong soul rendered up,And silence filling like a cup.
