“Libido pereundi et perdendi
.”
Liv. Præf.
“Men cannot their own vices bear,
Nor bear their remedies:”
Alas, that we such things should hear
Beneath the pitying skies!
Nor bear their remedies:”
Alas, that we such things should hear
Beneath the pitying skies!
To breathe of Heaven the genial breath,
To walk in Christian light,
And yet to be in love with death,—
O wondrous, awful sight!
To walk in Christian light,
And yet to be in love with death,—
O wondrous, awful sight!
“Ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to
destroy him; but, if thou canst do any thing, have compassion
on us.”
S. Mark ix. 22.
With man—'tis madness, sense-bereft,
Destroying and destroy'd;
With God—the soul which He hath left,
Where Satan fills the void.
Destroying and destroy'd;
With God—the soul which He hath left,
Where Satan fills the void.
Deeper to die man seems to strive,
With his own self at strife;
Lord, teach us in Thy love to live,
And love in Thee our life.
With his own self at strife;
Lord, teach us in Thy love to live,
And love in Thee our life.
