"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all."
"Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all."

"She dealt her pretty words like Blades --How glittering they shone --And every One unbared a NerveOr wantoned with a Bone --She never deemed -- she hurt --That -- is not Steel's Affair --A vulgar grimace in the Flesh --How ill the Creatures bear --To Ache is human -- not polite --The Film upon the eyeMortality's old Custom --Just locking up -- to Die."
"Forever is composed of nows."
"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all."
"I died for beauty but was scarceAdjusted in the tomb,When one who died for truth was lainIn an adjoining room.He questioned softly why I failed?"For beauty,"I replied."And I for truth, the two are one;We brethren are,"he said.And so, as kinsmen met a night,We talked between the rooms,Until the moss had reached our lips,And covered up our names."
