“Our lives are waves that come up out of the ocean of eternity, break upon the beach of earth, and lapse back to the ocean of eternity. Some are sunlit, some run in storm and rain; one is a quiet ripple, another is a thunderous breaker; and once in many centuries comes a great tidal wave that sweeps over a continent; but all go back to the sea and lie equally level there.” LifeRunningEarthLyingLevelsBreakOur LivesSeaCenturyQuietOceanRainEternityWaveCome UpStormBeachContinentsRippleLapsesTidal Waves Author:Austin O'Malley

“It was a quiet way - He asked if I was his - I made no answer of the tongue But answer of the eyes - And then He bore me on Before this mortal noise With swiftness, as of Chariots and distance, as of Wheels. This World did drop away As acres from the feet of one that leaneth from Balloon Upon an Ether Street. The Gulf behind was not, The Continents were new - Eternity was due. No Seasons were to us - It was not Night nor Morn - But Sunrise stopped upon the place And Fastened in Dawn.” IfsWorldWayMadeEyeNightAnswersBehindsFeetStreetsThis WorldQuietSeasonsEternityDistanceTongueDuesNoiseMortalsDawnWheelsContinentsBoresSunriseBalloonsAcresChariotsSwiftness Book:The Poems of Emily Dickinson Source: The Poems of Emily Dickinson
