Fragment: Thoughts Come And Go In Solitude

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley

My thoughts arise and fade in solitude,
The verse that would invest them melts away
Like moonlight in the heaven of spreading day:
How beautiful they were, how firm they stood,
Flecking the starry sky like woven pearl!

    Prayer
    by Henry David Thoreau
    Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf Than that I may not disappoint myself, That in my action I may soar as high As I can now discern with this clear eye. And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
