“We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.”
Anne Frank (1929–1945) victim of the Holocaust and author of a diary
“Yet happy we lived and happy we loved,
And happy we died once more”
Evolution (1895; 1909)
Context: Yet happy we lived and happy we loved,
And happy we died once more;
Our forms were rolled in the clinging mold
Of a Neocomian shore.
The eons came and the eons fled
And the sleep that wrapped us fast
Was riven away in a newer day
And the night of death was past.
