The brook flows on. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. “ Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die.” “ There is no time like the old time, when you and I were young.” “ Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” “ Dreams are true while they last.” “ I am a part of all that I have met.” “ Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.” “ The brook flows on, the brook flows on.” “ The sun is but a morning star.” “ A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.” “ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” ' Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Come, my friends, ' Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Come into the garden, Maud. |
