“What heaven-entreated heart is this
Stands trembling at the gate of bliss;
Holds fast the door, yet dares not venture
Fairly to open it and enter?
Whose definition is a doubt
Twixt life and death, twixt in and out?”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?1649)
“Hark, hark, the lark at heavens gate sings,
And Phoebus gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chaliced flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their golden eyes;
With every thing that pretty is, my lady sweet, arise;
Arise, arise!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow ... the hour
Before the dawn ... the mouth of one
Just dead.”
—Adelaide Crapsey (18781914)
