Letter "I" » Immortality
"It must be soPlato, thou reasonest well!
Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire,
This longing after immortality?
Or whence this secret dread, and inward horror,
O falling into nought? Why shrinks the soul
Back on herself, and startles at destruction?
'Tis the divinity that stirs within us;
'Tis heaven itself, that points out an hereafter,
And intimates eternity to man."
Author: Joseph Addison

Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years,
But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth,
Unhurt amidst the wars of elements,
The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds."

Kept on after the grave, but not begun;

From strength to strength advancingonly he
His soul well-knit, and all his battles won,
Mounts, and that hardly, to eternal life."

Close to my breast; its splendor soon or late
Will pierce the gloom; I shall emerge one day."
