So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
Are we not like two volumes of one book?
Two hearts in love need no words.
Why are our joys remembered more bitter than our woes?

If an intelligent, educated, and healthy man begins to complain of his lot and go down-hill, there is nothing for him to do but to go on down until he reaches the bottom--there is no hope for him. Where could my salvation come from? How can I save myself? I cannot drink, because it makes my head ache. I never could write bad poetry. I cannot pray for strength and see anything lofty in the languor of my soul. Laziness is laziness and weakness weakness. I can find no other names for them. I am lost, I am lost; there is no doubt of that.

With faith and love God's given, springing from the hope we know. We will pray the joy you'll live in, is the strength that now you show.
