Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again. - Robert Browning, At the "Mermaid" (st. 10) I count life just a stuff To try the soul's strength on. - Robert Browning, In a Balcony No! let me taste the whole of it, fare like my peers, The heroes of old, Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad life's arrears Of pain, darkness and cold. - Robert Browning, Prospice Life is short--while we speak it flies; enjoy, then, the present, and forget the future; such is the moral of ancient poetry, a graceful and a wise moral,--indulged beneath a southern sky, and all deserving, the phrase applied to it,--the philosophy of the garden." - Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton O Life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, To wretches such as I! - Robert Burns, Despondency O, Life! how pleasant is thy morning, Young Fancy's rays the hills adorning!
