True Meaning of Life

Excerpts from A PSALM OF LIFE by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:

Life is real ! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal ;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.




Excerpts from Augeries of Innocence by William Blake:

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.
