    H. Jackson Brown Jr.

    Lord Byron
    “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
    There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
    There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
    I love not man the less, but Nature more”
    ― Lord Byron

    Lord Byron
    “They say that Hope is happiness
    But genuine Love must prize the past;
    And Mem'ry wakes the thoughts that bless:
    They rose first -- they set the last.

    And all that mem'ry loves the most
    Was once our only hope to be:
    And all that hope adored and lost
    Hath melted into memory.

    Alas! It is delusion all--
    The future cheats us from afar:
    Nor can we be what we recall,
    Nor dare we think on what we are.”
    ― Lord George Gordon Byron, The Poetical Works of Byron

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
