• For there are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion,
  That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble
  Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret,
  Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.

  With less of earth in them than heaven.
