Poem by John Clare
Words Of Hope For Hopeless Hearts
Is there another world for this frail dust
To warm with life and be itself again?
Something about me daily speaks there must,
And why should instinct nourish hopes in vain?
'Tis nature's prophesy that such will be,
And everything seems struggling to explain
The close sealed volume of its mystery.
Time wandering onward keeps its usual pace
As seeming anxious of eternity,
To meet that calm and find a resting place.
E'en the small violet feels a future power
And waits each year renewing blooms to bring,
And surely man is no inferior flower
To die unworthy of a second spring?
- Poem by by John Clare
I find hope in the darkest of days,
and focus in the brightest.
I do not judge the universe.
- Quote by Dalai Lama
It is a hopeless endeavour to unite
the contrarieties of spring and winter;
it is unjust to claim the privileges of age,
and retain the play-things of childhood.
- Quote by Samuel Johnson
