From ' Change upon change'  By Elizaberth Barrett Browning

'It was thy love proved false and frail, --
And why, since these be changed enow,
Should I change less than thou.'

'Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.'

From Break,break,break by Alfred Lord Tennyson

From a 'Psalm of life 'by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

'Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

'Destinies
Multiple shadows may the sun preserve you.'

From the poem ' Shadow by Guillame Apollinaire.

Completely Lost

Have you ever had that feeling?
That you are completely lost.
Your mind and senses reeling,
As in a dark foreboding frost.
Nothing but nothing is as it seems,
Words like phantoms come and go.
It is as if all the bizarre dreams,
Have turned your brain to snow.
The ticking of the mantelpiece clock,
Cuts the silence like a knife.
Your mind is in a mysterious block,
You ask yourself is this my life.
Perhaps I am just getting old,
Brain and body gone to pot,
Where are the times that I was bold,
And my brain could solve every plot.

Bernard Shaw
