James Russell Lowell Quotes
But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweetLessen like sound of friends’ departing feet;And Death is beautiful as feet of friendComing with welcome at our journey’s end.For me Fate gave, whate’er she else denied,A nature sloping to the southern side;I thank her for it, though when clouds ariseSuch natures double-darken gloomy skies.
