Unity, § II
The Golden Hynde and Other Poems (1914)
Context: Heart of my heart, we cannot die!
Love triumphant in flower and tree,
Every life that laughs at the sky
Tells us nothing can cease to be:
One, we are one with the song to-day,
One with the clover that scents the world,
One with the Unknown, far away,
One with the stars, when earth grows old.
“The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold?”
Paradise.
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
Optimism
Poetry quotes, Poems of Pleasure (1900)
Context: I find a rapture linked with each despair,
Well worth the price of anguish. I detect
More good than evil in humanity.
Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes,
And men grow better as the world grows old.
“Old men must die, or the world would grow mouldy, would only breed the past again.”
Becket, Prologue, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
February 3, 1667
