• ¿No tenemos todos, en medio de las mezquinas luchas de la vida, Algún ideal puro de una vida noble Que alguna vez pareció posible? ¿No oímos el aleteo de sus alas, y lo sentimos cerca, y justo a nuestro alcance? Lo estuvo. Y, sin embargo, lo perdimos en este ajetreo y preocupación diarios, y ahora vivimos ociosos en un vago pesar; pero aún así nuestro lugar está guardado, y esperará, listo para que lo ocupemos, pronto o tarde. Nunca se pierde la estrella que una vez vimos, Siempre podemos ser lo que podríamos haber sido.
