STRAY BIRDS

278

One word keep for me in thy silence, O World, when I am dead, "I have loved."

279

We live in this world when we love it.

280

Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.

281

I have seen thee as the half-awakened child sees his mother in the dusk of the dawn and then smiles and sleeps again.
