Quotes About Soul

SOUL.

Summe up at night what thou hast done by day;
And in the morning what thou hast to do.

And growth of it: if, with thy watch, that too
Be down, then winde up both; since we shall be
Most surely judged, make thy accounts agree.

Locked up within the casket of thy breast?

What heavenly treasure in so weak a chest?

Can take in all, and verge enough for more.

To heaven hath a summer's day.

In ever-flowing meads of Asphodel.
