Oblivion

Only the dead could afford oblivion.

— Oblivion

Oblivion is not to be hired.

— Oblivion

For those sacred powersCan be entombed in their celestial breasts.

— Oblivion

It is not in the storm nor in the strifeWhen all is lost, except a little life.

— Oblivion

Without oblivion, there is no remembrance possible. When both oblivion and memory are wise, when the general soul of man is clear, melodious, true, there may come a modern Iliad as memorial of the Past.

— Oblivion

And o'er the past oblivion stretch her wing.

— Oblivion

He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

— Oblivion

What's past and what's to come is strew'd with husksAnd formless ruin of oblivion.

— Oblivion

But from your mind's chilled skyA dead fly in a dusty window-crack.
