... That thou canst not stir a flowerWithout troubling of a star.

In all change, well looked into, the germinal good out-veils the apparent ill.

She went her unremembering way, She went and left in me The pang of all the partings gone, And partings yet to be.
One could not pluck a flower without troubling a star.
Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare, And left the flushed print in a poppy there.
The fairest things have fleetest end, Their scent survives their close: But the rose's scent is bitterness To him that loved the rose.
Nothing begins, and nothing ends, That is not paid with moan; For we are born in others' pain And perish in our own.
