THE HEART’S DESIRE
TO-NIGHT.
Swiftlv walk over the western wave
Spirit of Night! Out of the misty eastern cave
Where, all the long and lone daylight Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear Which makes thee terrible and dear
Swift be thy flight.
Wrap thy -form in a mantle grey Star-inwrought.
Glind with thine hair the eyes of Day; Kiss her until she be wearied out. Then wander o’er city and land, Touching all. with thine opiate wand— Come, 'long-sought?
—Shellev
Worth without wealth is a good servant out of place.
Every man should be at peace with Tils enemies and at war with his vices,
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character. —Emerson.
