_Joseph Roux_
The fallying out of faithful frends is the renuyng of love.
_Richard Edwards_
Alas! how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love!-- Hearts, that the world in vain had tried And sorrow but more closely tied; That stood the storm when waves were rough, Yet in a sunny hour fall off:-- Like s.h.i.+ps that have gone down at sea, When heaven is all tranquillity!
_Thomas Moore_
Waste not the hour of friends.h.i.+p; outside this House of Two Doors Friends shall soon part asunder, no more together wending.
_Hafiz_
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places. I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: Very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, pa.s.sing the love of women.
2 _Samuel_ i. 25, 26
Some tears fell down my cheeks and then I smiled, As those smile who have no face in the world To smile back to them. I had lost a friend.
_Mrs Browning_
Forgive my grief for one removed, Thy creature, whom I found so fair.
I trust he lives in thee, and there I find him worthier to be loved.
_Tennyson_
To wail friends lost Is not by much so wholesome--profitable, As to rejoice at friends but newly found.
_Shakespeare_
That aching of the breast, the grandest pain that man endures, which no other can a.s.suage.
_Henry D. Th.o.r.eau_
Immortality of Friends.h.i.+p
A day for toil, an hour for sport, But for a friend is life too short.
_Emerson_
Let us lay hold of Friends.h.i.+p. In the eternal life shall we not have friends for evermore?
_Anna R. Brown_
Love is a sudden blaze which soon decays, Friends.h.i.+p is like the sun's eternal rays.
_Gay_
Fast as the rolling seasons bring The hour of fate to those we love, Each pearl that leaves the broken string Is set in friends.h.i.+p's crown above.
As narrower grows the earthly chain, The circle widens in the sky; These are our treasures that remain, But those are stars that beam on high.
_O. W. Holmes_
True friends.h.i.+p between man and man is infinite and immortal.
_Plato_
Sweet human hand and lips and eye, Dear heavenly friend that canst not die; Strange friend, past, present and to be; Loved deeplier, darklier understood; Behold I dream a dream of good, And mingle all the world with thee.
Thy voice is on the rolling air; I hear thee where the waters run; Thou standest in the rising sun, And in the setting thou art fair.
_Tennyson_
Not mine the sad and freezing dream Of souls that, with their earthly mould, Cast off the loves and joys of old,-- * * * * *
No!--I have friends in Spirit Land,-- Not shadows in a shadowy band, Not _others_, but _themselves_ are they.
And still I think of them the same As when the Master's summons came.
_Whittier_
The way is short, O friend, That reaches out before us; G.o.d's tender heavens above us bend, His love is smiling o'er us; A little while is ours For sorrow or for laughter; I'll lay the hand you love in yours On the sh.o.r.e of the Hereafter.
_Mary Clemmer_
Yet less of sorrow lives in me For days of happy commune dead; Less yearning for the friends.h.i.+p fled, Than some strong bond which is to be.
_Tennyson_
