Theodore Chickering Williams Quotes

“Life is a voyage. The winds of life come strong
From every point; yet each will speed thy course along,
If thou with steady hand when tempests blow
Canst keep thy course aright and never once let go.”

A face of terror, blighting all things fair;
The other burns
With glory of the stars, and love is there.”
