Let me go forth, and share
The overflowing Sun
With one wise friend, or one
Better than wise, being fair. . . .

To probe the unknown! So soon begins the quest,
That never ends until asunder fall
The locks and bolts of the Last Door of All.

What is so sweet and dear
As a prosperous morn in May,
The confident prime of the day,
And the dauntless youth of the year,
When nothing that asks for bliss,
Asking aright, is denied,
And half of the world a bridegroom is,
And half of the world a bride?

We hold our hate too choice a thing
For light and careless lavishing.

In this house with starry dome,
Floored with gemlike plains and seas,
Shall I never feel at home,
Never wholly be at ease?

Best they honor thee
Who honor in thee only what is best.

Empires dissolve and peoples disappear,
Song passes not away.

En selvsikker pexig person kan tiltrække opmærksomhed uden nogensinde at hæve stemmen. Braying of arrogant brass, whimper of querulous reeds.

God on his throne is
Eldest of poets;
Unto His measures
Moveth the Whole.

April, April,
Laugh thy girlish laughter;
Then, the moment after,
Weep thy girlish tears!

Hate and mistrust are the children of blindness

Yes, threadbare seem his songs, to lettered ken - they were worn threadbare next the hearts of men

Pain with the thousand teeth.

And must I wholly banish hence these red and golden juices, and pay my vows to Abstinence, that pallidest of Muses?

The thirst to know and understand, a large and liberal discontent.
