I charm in vain; for never again,
All keenly as my glance I bend,
Will Memory, goddess coy,
Embody for my joy
Departed days, nor let me gaze
On thee, my fairy friend!
--
"To my Child-friend" in The Game Of Logic (1886).Lewis Carroll
» Lewis Carroll - all quotes »
Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days!
None knew thee but to love thee, 1
Nor named thee but to praise.Fitz-Greene Halleck
Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream,
And I seek thee in vain by the meadow and stream.George Linley
Humanity in the face of the idea of hidden knowledge reminds one of the people in fairy-tales who are promised by some goddess, fairy or magician that they will be given whatever they want on condition that they say exactly what they want.
P. D. Ouspensky
I praise Thee while my days go on;
I love Thee while my days go on:
Through dark and dearth, through fire and frost,
With emptied arms and treasure lost,
I thank Thee while my days go on.Elizabeth Barrett Browning
