Life is a dream, its wakening,
Death, gentle shadow of God's wing.
Quotes about wakening (6 Quotes)
Echo Come to me in the silence of the night Come in the speaking silence of a dream Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright As sunlight on a stream Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years. Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter-sweet, Whose wakening should have been in Paradise, Where souls brim-full of love abide and meet Where thirsting longing eyes Watch the slow door That opening, letting in, lets out no more. Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live My very life again though cold in death Come back to me in dreams, that I may give Pulse for pulse, breath for breath Speak low, lean low, As long ago, my love, how long ago.
The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,
And lo!
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room he said, 'What writest thou' The vision raised its head, And with a look made all of sweet accord, Answered, 'The names of those who love the Lord.' 'And is mine one' said Abou. 'Nay not so.' Replied the angel, Abou spoke more low, But clearly still, and said, 'I pray thee, then, Write me as one that loves his fellow-men.' The angel wrote and vanished. The next night It came again with a great wakening light, And showed the names whom love of God had blessed. And lo Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.
New every morning is the love; Our wakening and uprising prove.
This is the third year in a row where we've had 20 percent plus returns on the Dow, SP and Nasdaq. I think this is a good breather for the market and I think it's a good wakening call for many people who are chasing names regardless of valuations.
