We have two lives about us,
Two worlds in which we dwell;
Within us, and without us, Alternate Heaven and Hell:
Without, the somber Real,
Within our hearts of hearts, the beautiful Ideal!

Additional quotes by Richard Henry Stoddard

There is no death—the thing that we call death
Is but another, sadder name for life,

Groping our way along the downward slope of Years!

All Love is Beauty, and all Beauty—Love!
