Death, In Its Silent Sure March Is Fast Gathering Those Whom I Have Longest Loved, So That When He Shall Knock At My Door, I Will More Willingly Follow.

Shake Off Those Gloomy Feelings. Drive Them Away. Fix Your Mind And Pleasures Upon What Is Before You.all Is Bright If You Will Think It So. All Is Happy If You Will Make It So. Do Not Dream.
