Be not forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; Grief not, rather find, Strength in what remains behind, In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be, In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of Human suffering, In the faith that looks through death In years that bring philophic mind. - William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)

Thou soul is the eternity of thought! That giv'st to forms and images a breath And everlasting motion!
