"And that inverted Bowl they call the Sky, Whereunder crawling coop'd we live and die, Lift not your hands to It for help – for It As impotently moves as you or I."
"We are no other than a moving row Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go Round with the Sun-illumined Lantern held In Midnight by the Master of the Show."
"A Book of Verses undeneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread – and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness- Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!"
"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it."
