A night of tears! for the gusty rain Had ceased, but the eaves were dripping yet; And the moon look'd forth, as tho' in pain, With her face al white and wet.

Art is Nature made by Man To Man the interpreter of God.
There is a pleasure which is born of pain.
The thing which must be, must be for the best.
Since we parted, yester eve, I do love thee, love, believe, Twelve times dearer, twelve hours longer, One dream deeper, one night stronger, One sun surer,—thus much more Than I loved thee, love, before.
For only by knowledge of that which is not Thyself shall thyself be learn'd.
Love thou the rose, yet leave it on its stem.
