Earth's Loveliness

Don't strew me with roses

after I'm dead.
When Death claims

the light of my brow,
No flowers of life

will cheer me: instead
You may give me my roses now!

Thomas F. Healey

My soul can find no staircase
to Heaven unless it be through
Earth's loveliness.
Michelangelo Buonardo

The beauty of the world
has two edges,
one of laughter, one of anguish,
cutting the heart asunder.
Virginia Woolf
