4 quotes

Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did and does smack sweet.

At the 'Mermaid (1876)

I count life just a stuff
To try the soul's strength on.

Men and Women (1855)

For life, with all it yields of joy and woe,
And hope and fear (believe the aged friend),
Is just our chance o' the prize of learning love,—
How love might be, hath been indeed, and is.

A Death in the Desert (1864)

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.
