Beauty and grace command the world.

Park Benjamin

[itsquoted]

Press on! there’s no such word as fail! Press nobly on! the goal is near,– Ascend the mountain! breast the gale! Look upward, onward, –never fear! Why shouldst thou faint? Heaven smiles above, Though storm and vapour intervene; That sun shines on, whose name is Love, Serenely o’er Life’s shadow’d scene.

Park Benjamin

[itsquoted]

Flowers are love’s truest language; they betray, Like the divining rods of Magi old, Where precious wealth lies buried, not of gold, But love – strong love, that never can decay!

Park Benjamin
