His life is a watch or a vision Between a sleep and a sleep. - Algernon Charles Swinburne

Farewell, and peace be with you if it may. I have lost, ye have won this hazard: yet perchance My loss may shine yet goodlier than your gain When time and God give judgment. If there be Truth, true is this, that I desired the right And ye with hands as red sustain the wrong As mine had been in triumph. Have your will: And God send each no bitterer end than mine.

Fear that makes faith may break faith; and a fool Is but in folly stable.

Not with dreams, but with blood and with iron, Shall a nation be moulded at last.
