- Fish say, they have their stream and pond;
- But is there anything beyond?
RUPERT BROOKE, Heaven
- They say that the Dead die not, but remain
- Near to the rich heirs of their grief and mirth.
- I think they ride the calm mid-heaven, as these,
- In wise majestic melancholy train,
- And watch the moon, and the still-raging seas,
- And men, coming and going on the earth.
- But there's a wisdom in women, of more than they have known,
- And thoughts go blowing through them, are wiser than their own.
RUPERT BROOKE, There's Wisdom in Women
There's little comfort in the wise.
RUPERT BROOKE, Tiare Tahiti
