In this world, the Isle of Dreams,<br /> While we sit by sorrow&#039;s streams,<br /> Tears and terrors are our themes,<br /> Reciting:<br /> <br /> But when once from hence we fly,<br /> More and more approaching nigh<br /> Unto young eternity,<br /> Uniting<br /> <br /> In that whiter Island, where<br /> Things are evermore sincere:<br /> Candour here, and lustre there,<br /> Delighting:--<br /> <br /> There no monstrous fancies shall<br /> Out of hell an horror call,<br /> To create, or cause at all<br /> Affrighting.<br /> <br /> There, in calm and cooling sleep,<br /> We our eyes shall never steep,<br /> But eternal watch shall keep,<br /> Attending<br /> <br /> Pleasures such as shall pursue<br /> Me immortalized, and you;<br /> And fresh joys, as never too<br /> Have ending. <br /> <br /> Robert Herrick

&quot;If its beautiful where you go then take in every moment. Every capillary of every petal and leaf. Every undulation of every ancient rock. Every gasp of laughter of anyone you love. Look to all of these things. It is the important stuff.&quot; -Paul

Don&#039;t ever keep looking on the past. Always look to the future. Don&#039;t forget what the past taught you,<br /> but always use it in the future.=)
