Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing;
Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere confuse thy brain.

The light in the eye grown dim, shall duly flame again;
The sun now low in the west rises for mornings and for noons continual;
To frozen clods ever the spring's invisible law returns,
With grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn.
Walt Whitman
