The narrow way in

“Who will ever know to what
this road invites me!
And it is the uncertain road every morning,
and so is every life!”

“Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Beautiful Soup!
Beautiful Soup!
Soup of the evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!”

The tower where there never justle a bell

"When the bells justle in the tower
The hollow night amid,
Then on my tongue the taste is sour
Of all I ever did."

Some rain must fall …

“Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.”

(Henry W. Longfellow in The day is cold, and dark, and drear …)
