And I said in underbreath - All our life is mixed with death, - And who knoweth which is best? And I smiled to think God's greatness Flowed around our incompleteness, - Round our restlessness, His rest. (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)

And I said in underbreath - All our life is mixed with death, - And who knoweth which is best? And I smiled to think God's greatness Flowed around our incompleteness, - Round our restlessness, His rest.
