I know not how it is
with you I love the
first and last,
The whole field of the
present view,
The whole flow of
the past.

things that are,
Nor you should change
nor I-
One pebble in our
path--one star
In all our heaven
of sky.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
Resolve, and thou art free.

and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor

I rave no more 'gainst
time or fate,
For lo! my own shall
come to me.

Were all the year one
constant sunshine, we
Should have no flowers,
All would be drought and

Would make us bowers;
Beauty consists in colors;

Which is not fixed, but
flies and flowers.
-Henry Vaughn

In all the uproar and

Whisper courage in my ear.
