SERENITY
-
Serene I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind or tide nor sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For lo! my own shall come to me.—JOHN BURROUGHS, Waiting
-
If our hours were all serene, we might probably take almost as little note of them, as the dial does of those that are clouded.—HAZLITT, On a Sun-Dial
-
The serenity of the wise is merely the art of imprisoning their agitation in the heart.—LA ROCHEFOUCAULD, Maxims
-
The star of the unconquered will,
He rises in my breast,
Serene, and resolute, and still.
And calm, and self-possessed.—LONGFELLOW, The Light of Stars
-
Serene will be our days and bright,
And happy will our nature be,
When love is an unerring light,
And joy its own security.—WORDSWORTH, Ode to Duty
