Youth sees too far to see how near it is
To seeing farther.

"I don't say what God is, but a name
That somehow answers us when we are driven
To feel and think how little we have to do
With what we are."

"Black and unblossomed were the ways he knew,
Dark was the glass through which his fire eye shined."

"The power is yours, but not the sight;
You see not upon what you tread;
You have the ages for your guide,
But not the wisdom to be led."

I shall have more to say when I am dead.
