"Schaust du mich aus deinen Augen
Lächelnd, wie aus Himmeln an,
Fühl ich wohl, daß keine Lippe
Solche Sprache führen kann."

“‘Come, lean on me, ye that are weary!
Rise, ye faint-hearted and doubting!
Haste, ye that lag by the way!
I am Pride, the consoler;
Valour and Hope are my henchmen;
I am the Angel of Rest.”
(W.E. Henly from The book of verses)

Turn thy wild wheel through sunshine, storm, and cloud;
Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate.”

“Strange, is it not, that of the myriads who
Before us pass’d the Door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of the Road
Which to discover we must travel too.”
