True Greatness Is Sovereign Wisdom. We Are

Too Much I've Seen, And Felt, And Lov'd In Life, Living I Come To Seek Lethaean Calm; Let Me, Fair Scenes! Forget All Worldly Strife, Oblivion Solely Is My Bosom's Balm.

Let Us Savour The Swift Delights Of The Most Beautiful Of Our Days!

After His Blood, That Which A Man Can Next Give Out Of Himself Is A Tear.

I Am Persuaded That If The Brutes Even--if The Dog, The Horse, The Ox, The Elephant, The Bird, Could Speak, They Would Confess, That, At The Bottom Of Their Nature, Their Instincts, Their Sensations, Their Obtuse Intelligence, Assisted By Organs Less Perfect Than Ours, There Is A Clouded, Secret Sentiment Of This Existence Of A Superior And Primordial Being, From Whom All Emanates, And To Whom All Returns.

I Say To This Night: "pass More Slowly"; And The Dawn Will Come To Dispel The Night.
