1. Eternity enables the endeavoring Again |
|
Each life converges to some centre Expressed or still; Exists in every human nature A goal, Admitted scarcely to itself, it may be, Too fair For credibility's temerity To dare.
Adored with caution, as a brittle heaven, To reach Were hopeless as the rainbow's raiment To touch,
Yet persevered toward, surer for the distance; How high Unto the saints' slow diligence The sky!
Ungained, it may be, by a life's low venture, But then, Eternity enables the endeavoring Again ... Emily Dickinson
Hillary's strengths manifested these past months will encourage others to greatness.

2. Do not go gentle into that political night |
|
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.
(with thanks -- and apologies -- to Dylan Thomas)
