And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
- In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height In the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth.
- Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.
- Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the Dawn has come.
