Poems
-
“That which we are, we are; / One equal temper of heroic hearts, / Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
In Memoriam A. H. H.
-
“I hold it true, whate’er befall; / I feel it, when I sorrow most; / 'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all.”
-
“Ring out the old, ring in the new, / Ring, happy bells, across the snow: / The year is going, let him go; / Ring out the false, ring in the true.”
