Quote by Algernon Charles Swinburne
From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever That dead men rise up never That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.
Summary
This quote reflects a sense of appreciation for the transient and finite nature of life. It acknowledges the freedom that comes from being detached from excessive desires and fears, expressing gratitude to any higher power that exists. It recognizes the inevitability of mortality and states that once someone dies, they will never come back to life. However, it finds solace in the idea that, just like a winding river eventually finds its way to the sea, even the most exhausted individuals will eventually find their safe haven.
