"Nature gives ...."

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

Charles Dickens

"Passing Love"

Because you are to me a song

I must not sing you over-long.

Because you are to me a prayer

I cannot say you everywhere.

Because you are to me a rose –

You will not stay when summer goes.

Langston Hughes

"She walks in beauty ...."

She walks in beauty,

Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes.

Lord Byron

"There is hope and a kind of beauty ...."

There is hope and a kind of beauty in there somewhere, if you look for it.
