More From Lady Gregory

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.
Loneliness Animal Moon
The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.
Stars Loneliness Fall
People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.
Stars Light People
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.
War Believe Struggle
The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,as if orchards were dying high in space.each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no."and tonight the heavy earth is fallingaway from all other stars in the loneliness.we're all falling. this hand here is falling.and look at the other one. it's in them all.and yet there is someone, whose handsinfinitely calm, holding up all this falling.
Stars Loneliness Fall
If god causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that he makes is good and will stand forever. if the transgression of god's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. it is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine mind, which causes the belief of sickness. the remedy is truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

If the wise be the happy man... he must be virtuous too; for, without virtue, happiness cannot be. this then is the true scope of all academical emulation.
Wise Men Emulation
Only let it be trust in god, not in man, not in circumstances, not in any of your own exertions, but real trust in god, and you will be helped in your various necessities... not in circumstances, not in natural prospects, not in former donors, but solely in god. this is just that which brings the blessing. if we say we trust in him, but in reality do not, then god, taking us at our word, lets us see that we do not really confide in him; and hence failure arises. on the other hand, if our trust in the lord is real, help will surely come.

Not in nature but in man is all the beauty and worth he sees. the world is very empty, and is indebted to this gilding, exalting soul for all its pride.

Between a man and a woman there was always one person who was stronger than the other one. that doesn’t mean the weaker one doesn’t love the stronger.
