How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

Nor any joy like love that has its will.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

The other vexes it .

question

"Indeed, I came to question the validity of a society that appeared more concerned with imposing its will than in inspiring respect.

Behind the clouds the sun is shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary...

Drop the question what tomorrow may bring ,
and count as profit every day that fate allows you .

Horace

tomorrow

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in--forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day--begin it well and serenly and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate .
