Just thought and thought!
Poor artist of the word!
High priest of thought!
You cannot flee;
The word holds all:
the world and man,
Death, life,
and ever-unveiled truth. (1840)

Providence has given human wisdom the choice between two fates: either hope and agitation, or hopelessness and calm.

Two Fates (1823)

The mysterious power of harmony
Will expiate a heavy delusion
And tame a revolting desire.

We are not masters of ourselves and
in our days of youthful folly
we hasten to give premature vows
the omniscient Fate shall ridicule.

We'll Live Till Monday (1968)
