" "
Never here, forever there,
Where all parting, pain, and care,
And death, and time shall disappear,—
Forever there, but never here!
The horologe of Eternity
Sayeth this incessantly,—
"Forever — never!
Never — forever!"

Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.

Out of the shdows of night
The world rolls into light.
