When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth.
More Quotes from Sara Teasdale:
Suicide note to her lover who left her. When I am dead, and over me bright April Shakes out her rain drenched hair, Tho you should lean above me broken hearted, I shall not care. For I shall have peace. As leafey trees are peaceful When rain bends down the bough. And I shall be more silent and cold hearted Than you are now.Sara Teasdale
A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love; The world is waiting for the spring.
Sara Teasdale
I found more joy in sorrow than you could find in joy.
Sara Teasdale
THE PHILOSOPHER I saw him sitting in his door, Trembling as old men do His house was old his barn was old, And yet his eyes seemed new. His eyes had seen three times my years And kept a twinkle still, Though they had looked at birth and death And three graves on a hill. 'I will sit down with you,' I said, 'And you will make me wise Tell me how you have kept the joy Still burning in your eyes.' Then like an old-time orator Impressively he rose 'I make the most of all that comes, The least of all that goes.' The jingling rhythm of his words Echoes as old songs do, Yet this had kept his eyes alight Till he was ninety-two.
Sara Teasdale
