All That Is Beautiful

GLoriousegg

The spirit's yearning cry,

GLoriousegg

These things can never die.

GLoriousegg

To see a world in a grain of sand,

GLoriousegg

And a heaven in a wild fllower,

GLoriousegg

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

GLoriousegg

And eternity in an hour.

GLoriousegg

However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you

GLoriousegg

are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as

GLoriousegg

it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is

GLoriousegg

reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts

GLoriousegg

before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have

GLoriousegg

as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives

GLoriousegg

of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above

GLoriousegg

being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by

GLoriousegg

dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not

GLoriousegg

trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do

GLoriousegg

The pure.the bright,the beautiful,

GLoriousegg

That stirred our hearts in youth,

GLoriousegg

The impulses to wordless prayer,

GLoriousegg

The dreams of love and truth;

GLoriousegg

The longing after something's lost,

GLoriousegg

The spirit's yearning cry,

GLoriousegg

The striving after better hopes-

GLoriousegg

These things can never die.

GLoriousegg

To see a world in a grain of sand,

GLoriousegg

And a heaven in a wild fllower,

GLoriousegg

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

GLoriousegg

And eternity in an hour.

GLoriousegg

However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you

GLoriousegg
