A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in/ A minute to smile and an hour to weep in/A pint of joy to a peck of trouble/………And that is life!

The flowers take the tears/Of the weeping night/ And give them to the sun/For the day’s delight.

I wandered lonely as a cloud/That floats on high o’er vales and hills,/When all at once I saw a crowd,/A host, of golden daffodils; (William Wordsworth)
