A minute’s success pays the failure of years.
Robert Browning Quotes
Just when we are safest, there’s a sunset-touch, A fancy from a flower-bell, some one’s death, A chorus-ending from Euripides,--- And that’s enough for fifty hopes and fears As old and new at once as Nature’s self, To rap and knock and enter in our soul. Take hands and dance there, a fantastic ring, Round the ancient idol, on his base again,--- The grand Perhaps.
