Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow-- You are not wrong who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone?

|
Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.
|
Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been, and there you long to return
