Image
God smiles as He has always smiled Ere suns and moons could wax and wane, Ere stars were thundergirt, or piled The Heavens, God thought on me His child Ordained a life for me, arrayed Its circumstances, every one To the minutest ay, God said This head this hand should rest upon Thus, ere He fashioned star or sun.

Robert Browning

You never know what life means till you die even throughout life, tis death that makes life live.
Robert Browning

A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with.
Robert Browning
Image
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Robert Browning
Image
The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!
