Walt Whitman
Nothing is ever really lost, nor can be lost,No birth, identity, form--no object of the world.
Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing;
Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere confuse thy brain.
Ample are time and space--ample the fields of Nature.
The body, sluggish, aged, cold--the embers left from earlier fires,
The light in the eye grown dim, shall duly flame again;
The sun now low in the west rises for mornings and for noons continual;
To frozen clods ever the spring's invisible law returns,With grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn.

É a Quarta-feira de Cinzas relembrando o que a gente desistiu de viver.
