HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whisperin... - Alfred Lord Tennyson

"HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'..."

"Let me go: take back thy gift:Why should a man desire in any wayTo vary from the kindly race of men,Or pass beyond the goal of ordinanceWhere all should pause, as is most meet for all?...Why wilt thou ever scare me with thy tears,And make me tremble lest a saying learnt,In days far-off, on that dark earth, be true?‘The Gods themselves cannot recall their gifts.’- Tithonus"

"There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds."

"Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers."

"HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'..."
