Lost are we, and are only so far punished, That without hope we live on in desire.

---

Midway in our life’s journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood.

---

But if, as morning rises, dreams are true.

---

I care not where my body may take me as long as my soul is embarked on a meaningful journey.

---

It was the hour of morning, when the sun mounts with those stars that shone with it when God’s own love first set in motion those fair things.

---

Be like a solid tower whose brave height remains unmoved by all the winds that blow; the man who lets his thoughts be turned aside by one thing or another, will lose sight of his true goal, his mind sapped of its strength.

---

Justice divine has weighed: the doom is clear. All hope renounce, ye lost, who enter here.

---

Hope not ever to see Heaven. I have come to lead you to the other shore; into eternal darkness; into fire and into ice.

---

There is no greater pain than to remember, in our present grief, past happiness.

---

We have no hope and yet we live in longing.
