“Falling stars are high examples sent To warn, not lure. Gross fancy says they are Substantial meteors; but that is not so. They are the merest phantasies of Night, When she's asleep, and, dimly visited By past effects, she dreams of Lucifer Hurled out of Heaven.” DreamPastNightFallHeavenStarsEffectsExampleFancyGrossLureLuciferMeteors Author:Alfred Austin
“Solitude delighteth well to feed on many thoughts; There as thou sittest peaceful, communing with fancy, The precious poetry of life shall gild its leaden cares; There, as thou walkest by the sea beneath the gentle stars, Many kindling seeds of good will sprout within thy soul; Thou shalt weep in Solitude,--thou shalt pray in Solitude. Thou shalt sing for joy of heart, and praise the grace of Solitude.” WellsHeartSoulCareJoyStarsGraceSeaPrayingSolitudePraiseSeedsPeacefulGentleFancyGood WillSproutsKindling Author:Martin Farquhar Tupper
