I Had A Dream, Which Was Not

Socrates Said, Our Only Knowledge Was "to Know That Nothing Could Be Known;" A Pleasant Science Enough, Which Levels To An Ass Each Man Of Wisdom, Future, Past, Or Present. Newton, (that Proverb Of The Mind,) Alas! Declared, With All His Grand Discoveries Recent, That He Himself Felt Only "like A Youth Picking Up Shells By The Great Ocean-truth."

Fair Greece! Sad Relic Of Departed Worth! Immortal, Though No More! Though Fallen, Great!

When We Two Parted In Silence And Tears, Half Broken-hearted, To Sever For Years.

Man Is Born Passionate Of Body, But With An Innate Though Secret Tendency To The Love Of Good In His Main-spring Of Mind. But God Help Us All! It Is At Present A Sad Jar Of Atoms.

I Have Great Hopes That We Shall Love Each Other All Our Lives As Much As If We Had Never Married At All.
