I will make this world of my devising out of a dream in my lonely mind

Only the spirit shal awake to say what the deep says to the deep

To Live in mankind is far more than to live in a name

Fear not that my music seems like water locked in winter streams; you are the sun that many a time thawed those rivers into rhyme, but let them for a while remain a hidden music in my brain.

If I can climb the hills and find a small square cottage to my mind, a lonely but a cleanly house with shelves too bare to tempt a mouse, whatever years remain to me, I shall live out in dignity

Youth is a noisy stream chattering over the ground, but the sad wisdom of age wells up without sound

Moon worn thin to the width of a quill, In the dawn clouds flying. How good to go, light into light, and still giving light, dying

Let it be you who lean above me on my last day

All I have lost or never found at all

With my own will i vanquished my own heart
