Beneath our surface appearances we carry the seeds of mortal decay.  Depressing thought, yet the knowledge of death imparts intensity to life.  Knowing that life will not last forever makes each day precious.  Carpe Diem. Seize the day!

INTIMATIONS Of IMMORTALITY

William Wordsworth

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,

Hath had elsewhere its setting,

And cometh from afar:

Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory do we come

From God, who is our home:

Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

Shades of the prison-house begin to close

Upon the growing Boy,

But He beholds the light, and whence it flows,

He sees it in his joy; (lines 58–70)
