Henry David Thoreau

“ Still be encouraged by the sunrise;
Forever to love and to love and to love,
Within him, around him, beneath him, above.
To love is to know, is to feel, is to be;
At once 't is his birth and his destiny. ”

“ We will rekindle those flames again.
Here will we tarry, still without doubt,
Till a miracle putteth that fire out.
