Such souls,Whose sudden visitations daze the world,Vanish like lightning, but they leave behindA voice that in the distance far awayWakens the slumbering ages.
We figure to ourselvesThe thing we like; and then we build it up,As chance will have it, on the rock or sand,—For thought is tired of wandering o’er the world,And homebound Fancy runs her bark ashore.
He that lacks time to mourn, lacks time to mend.Eternity mourns that. ’Tis an ill cureFor life’s worst ills, to have no time to feel them.Where sorrow ’s held intrusive and turned out,There wisdom will not enter, nor true power,Nor aught that dignifies humanity.
An unreflected light did never yetDazzle the vision feminine.
The world knows nothing of its greatest men.
His foodWas glory, which was poison to his mindAnd peril to his body.
Such souls,Whose sudden visitations daze the world,Vanish like lighting, but they leave behindA voice that in the distance far awayWakens the slumbering ages.
Shy and proud men ... are more liable than any others to fall into the hands of parasites and creatures of low character. For in the intimacies which are formed by shy men, they do not choose, but are chosen.
Conscience is, in most men, an anticipation of the opinions of others.
