Max Ehrmann

(Tessa Boyd)

“You are a child of the universe,

No less than the trees and the stars,

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding

as it should.”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

Robert Frost 

(Carmen Paddock)

“The woods are lovely,

dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

Maya Angelou 

(Laurel Bibby)

“You may shoot me with

your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

Philip Larkin

(Jessica Stanier)

“…we should be careful

Of each other, we should be kind

While there is still time”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

William Earnest Henley

(Hayden Cooper)

“It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments

the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.”

 

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

Dylan Thomas

(Jeremy Brown)

“Do not go gentle into that

good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of

the light.”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

J. R.R. Tolkien

(Emma Prevignano)

“All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

E. E. Cummings

(Anoushka Alexander-Rose)

“now the ears of my ears

awake and

now the eyes of my eyes are

opened”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

Saadi

(Helena Bennett)

“All human beings are members of one body

Created of one essence

If one member is a icted with pain

The others cannot remain unmoved

You who are without feeling for the su ering of others

You do not deserve to be called human”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

A. E. Housman

(Gareth Roberts)

“If death and time are stronger

A love may yet be strong;

The world will last for longer

But this will last for long.”

 

af90a91f9a1bf9ee7c0e877b7a64551c

John Donne

(Theo Stone)

“Each man’s death diminishes me,

For I am involved in mankind.

Therefore, send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee.”
