3 quotes

Here, on this side of the grave,
Here, should we labor and love.

And let its meaning permeate
Whatever comes, This too shall pass away.

In the face of the sun are great thunderbolts hurled,
And the storm-clouds have shut out its light;
But a Rainbow of Promise now shines on the world,
And the universe thrills at the sight.
