“I praise Thee while my days go on;
I love Thee while my days go on”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861) English poet, author
St. 23 -24.
De Profundis (1862)
Context: p>I praise Thee while my days go on;
I love Thee while my days go on:
Through dark and dearth, through fire and frost,
With emptied arms and treasure lost,
I thank Thee while my days go on.And having in thy life-depth thrown
Being and suffering (which are one),
As a child drops his pebble small
Down some deep well, and hears it fall
Smiling — so I. THY DAYS GO ON.</p
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) logician, one of the first analytic philosophers and political activist

Ogden Nash (1902–1971) American poet
Good Intentions (1942), So Does Everybody Else, Only Not So Much
Context: And what really turns my corpuscles to ice,
I carry around clippings and read them to people twice.
And I know what I am doing while I am doing it and I don't want to do it but I can't help doing it and I am just another Ancient Mariner,
And the prospects for my future social life couldn't possibly be barrener.
Did I tell you that the prospects for my future social life couldn't be barrener?
