I am the ball of the sun . . .

The rose and the nightingale
drunk with its fragrance.
I am the chain of being,
the circle of the spheres,
The scale of creation,
the rise and the fall.
I am what is and is not . . .
I am the soul in all. — Rumi

That draws oblivion's curtains over kings;
Their sumptuous monuments, men know them not,
Their names without a record are forgot,

But he whose name is graved in the white stone
Shall last and shine when all of these are gone. — Anne Bradstreet
