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

Silence is the speech of love,
The music of the spheres above.

In which I wandered in my wayward youth;

Who sought me when I needed her—ah when
Did I not need her, solitary else?
