What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow:
What are brief? To-day and to-morrow:
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth:
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame

Who sets me free
From shackles frailer
Then the wind spun sea.
He shall be my teacher
Who cries "Be brave,"
To a weeping creature
In a glass-walled cave
