Came across these beautiful lines. And wanted to share them with the world for their beauty and meaning are simply profound. Read them once and then read them again, see the meanings form in your mind. And read them once more to see how the picture shifts as understanding dawns upon the mind.

Shall be an endless theme of praise,
And love — a simple duty.
--Edgar Allan Poe
