FROM POEMS AND VERSE

I sit beside my lonely fire and pray for wisdom yet:
for calmness to remember, or courage to forget.
C. H. Aide

For a fear is an intellectual thing,
and a sigh is the Sword of the Angel King.
William Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand
and Heaven in a wildflower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.
William Blake

She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry nights;
And all that's best of dark and bright
meets in her aspect and her eyes.
Lord Byron

The moon is at her crystal window
Spinning and weaving.
Hilda Conkling

I'll tell you how the sun rose - a ribbon at a time.
Emily Dickinson

The fairies went from the world dear,
Because men's hearts grew cold;
And only the eyes of the children see
What is hidden from the old;
And only the magic of love dear
Can ever turn the key
That unlocks the gates of Fairyland
To set the Sidhe free.
Kathleen Foyle - "The Good Little Folk"

What has happenned
has happenned.
What I am going through,
I shall rise above;
And what will come,
I shall meet with courage.

and danced the sky on laughter-silvered wings.

As I was going up the stairs,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away.

a wave of the ocean, a bird on the wing.
Julia Pardoe

The lonliness persisted like incessant rain.
Ann Allen Shockley

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains,
at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses of rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars;
and they pass by themselves without understanding.
St Augustine

Reach high for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep, for every dream proceeds the goal.
P. V. Starr

The Road goes ever on and on
down from the door where it began.
Now farahead the Raod has gone,
and I must follow, if I can,
Persuing it with eager feet,
Until it gains some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet
And whither then? I cannot say.
J. R. R. Tolkien

The adventure in life is to learn
The purpose of life is to grow
The nature of life is to change
the challenge of life is to overcome
The essence of life is to care
The opportunity of life is to serve
The sacred of life is to dare
The beauty of live is to give
The joy of life is to love.
William Ward
