Quotes
The dead they sleep a long, long sleep; </br> The dead they rest, and their rest is deep; </br> The dead have peace, but the living weep.

Four of us together dwell— </br> Two from Heaven and two from Hell; Four of us under the selfsame sky— </br> Love and Death and a Dream and I.

When trouble drives me into rhyme, </br> Which is two-thirds of all the time, </br> What peace a thought like this can give— </br> Great is the age in which we live!

Oh, how various is the scene </br> Allowed to Man for his demesne!

When you’re away, I’m restless, lonely, </br> Wretched, bored, dejected; only </br> Here’s the rub, my darling dear, </br> I feel the same when you are here.

You buy some flowers for your table; </br> You tend them tenderly as you’re able; </br> You fetch them water from hither and thither— </br> What thanks do you get for it all? They wither.
