Could I Love Less, I Should Be

I Cannot Love As I Have Loved, And Yet I Know Not Why; It Is The One Great Woe Of Life To Feel All Feeling Die.

The Course Of Nature Seems A Course Of Death, And Nothingness The Whole Substantial Thing.

I Cannot Be Content With Less Than Heaven; Living, And Comprehensive Of All Life. Thee, Universal Heaven, Celestial All; Thee, Sacrjd Seat Of Intellective Time; Field Of The Soul 's Best Wisdom : Home Of Truth , Star-throned.

Youth Might Be Wise; We Suffer Less From Pains Than Pleasures.

Life Is As Serious A Thing As Death.
