Sunrise on the Hills No one so utterly desolate, But some heart, though unknown, Responds unto his own." Endymion O ye afflicted ones, who lie Steeped to the lips in misery, Longing, yet afraid to die, Patient, though sorely tried!" The Goblet of Life May be heaven's distant lamps." Resignation Evangeline That of our vices we can frame A ladder, if we will but tread Beneath our feet each deed of shame." The Ladder of Saint Augustine And all the sweet serenity of books." Morituri Salutamus Who ne'er the mournful midnight hours Weeping upon his bed has sate, He knows you not, ye Heavenly Powers." Motto, Hyperion Than to be mindful of the happy time In misery." Inferno. Canto v. Line 121 |
