Immortality Poems

Because I could not stop for Death-
He kindly stopped for me-
The Carriage held but just Ourselves-
And Immortality.
...

A woman waits for me- she contains all, nothing is lacking,
Yet all were lacking, if sex were lacking, or if the moisture of the
right man were lacking.
...

Each night, earth life suspended,
Without asking where you are going
Or who you are, you experience
As if life dreams of itself,
...

I am waiting for my case to come up
and I am waiting
for a rebirth of wonder
and I am waiting
...

I weep for Adonais -he is dead!
O, weep for Adonais! though our tears
Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head!
And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years
...

O! nothing earthly save the ray
(Thrown back from flowers) of Beauty's eye,
As in those gardens where the day
Springs from the gems of Circassy-
...

To fulfil immortality in life
Is woman's truth
Whose sole deed is
To disclose us to ourselves,
...

Foil'd by our fellow-men, depress'd, outworn,
We leave the brutal world to take its way,
And, Patience! in another life, we say
The world shall be thrust down, and we up-borne.
...

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
...

O Love! thou makest all things even
In earth or heaven;
Finding thy way through prison-bars
Up to the stars;
...

On Hellespont, guilty of true-love's blood,
In view and opposite two cities stood,
Sea-borderers, disjoined by Neptune's might;
The one Abydos, the other Sestos hight.
...

In these deep solitudes and awful cells,
Where heav'nly-pensive contemplation dwells,
And ever-musing melancholy reigns;
What means this tumult in a vestal's veins?
...

AS I sat alone, by blue Ontario's shore,
As I mused of these mighty days, and of peace return'd, and the dead
that return no more,
...

This quiet roof, where dove-sails saunter by,
Between the pines, the tombs, throbs visibly.
Impartial noon patterns the sea in flame --
...

O Love! thou makest all things even
In earth or heaven;
Finding thy way through prison-bars
Up to the stars;
...

In Sleeping Beauty's castle
the clock strikes one hundred years
and the girl in the tower returns to the world.
So do the servants in the kitchen,
...

My life closed twice before its close--
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me
...

O Sovereign power of love! O grief! O balm!
All records, saving thine, come cool, and calm,
And shadowy, through the mist of passed years:
For others, good or bad, hatred and tears
...

Here on the slopes of hills, facing the dusk and the cannon of time
Close to the gardens of broken shadows,
We do what prisoners do,
And what the jobless do:
...

I Saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like Silence, listening
To silence, for no lonely bird would sing
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn,
...

The Possibility of The Dream of Immortality!

The longtime dream of man is deathless life in the world;
That is immortality possible by transplantation of brain,
...

I shall be a wandering Jew.
I shall not rest to rest
I shall travel to stay here.
For I lit the Flame of Immortality
...

Spoke and paced the Monsignor
As he paced he spoke
As he spoke he paced
...

Two thousand thirty...
The year Man may gain life with
Immortality!
Some of the Holy verses
...

He seemed to be Zeus, his hair aflame. His strength exuded immortality claimed. Laid low immortality came, it can't be, it can't be immortality to blame.

The hair aflame, the strength laid, passed to the progeny it seemed. A loss it seems, a love given and passed. Yet strength wanes.
...

Words on the page give no immortality,
they are flashes for an hour memory wiped.

we are what we write or write what we are,
...

How fertile, sniffing now is the serenity. Maybe this is the proud or sublime time of enlightenment, is it so sublime, strange? You can chat here only with mythical signs, hand signals and the quietest! Together they are here: young scholars, wise-looking prophets - monks who have remained with intention and tradition even in recent times. Together they watch the immortal immortality of the letters!

Then they come when the day is over soon and too suddenly over! The inexplicable ancient secret of books rests in letters embedded in letters; offering himself towards complete immortality! - perhaps it is really in this holy place that the remaining ray of hope, its light: The immortal, eternally thirsty thirst of enlightenments?
...

My God I do not only want to ask for wisdom, intelligence and insight
but like Moses in the old times, I come to You the omnipotent Lord God,
I beg that You do constantly inform me of Your plans,
...

Immortality is the greatest dream since the time immemorial to man;
Scientific researches are going on by some somewhere in the world;
But on the other hand, new disease causing viruses are seeping out;
Researches for making new medicines to cure new diseases are on too!
...

If you are striving for immortality,
I'm not a good example of its fame.
Immortality belongs to certain people
Who, truly, deserve its prestigious name.
