My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

The inventor of their heaven empties into it all the nations of the earth, in one common jumble. All are on an equality
absolute, no one of them ranking another; they have to be "brothers"; they have to mix together, pray together, harp
together, hosannah together--whites, niggers, Jews, everybody--there's no distinction. Here in the earth all nations hate
each other, and every one of them hates the Jew. Yet every pious person adores that heaven and wants to get into it. He
really does. And when he is in a holy rapture he thinks he thinks that if he were only there he would take all the populace
to his heart, and hug, and hug, and hug!

I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For
whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in
politics or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free
and moral agent. If I could not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Heaven, n.: A place where the wicked cease from troubling you with talk of their personal affairs, and the good listen with
attention while you expound your own.

Love is the only bow on life's dark cloud.
It is the Morning and the Evening Star.
It shines upon the cradle of the babe,
and sheds its radiance upon the quiet tomb.
It is the mother of Art,
inspirer of poet, patriot, and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart, builder of every home,
kindler of every fire on every hearth.
It was the first to dream of immortality.
It fills the world with melody,
for Music is the voice of Love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter,
that changes worthless things to joy,
and makes right royal kings and queens of common clay.
It is the perfume of the wondrous flower -- the heart
and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon,
we are less than beasts;
but with it, earth is heaven
and we are gods.

What is—"Paradise"—
Who live there—
Are they "Farmers"—
Do they "hoe"—
Do they know that this is "Amherst"—
And that I—am coming—too—
