Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades
Forever and forever when I move.

To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life!
Tennyson, Alfred

And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right

Before the world was made.

I heard a thousand blended notes
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.
-----William Wordsworth

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
