WHAT IS LIFE?

By Anna Katherine Green

Ah, what is life? 'Tis but a passing touch upon the world; A print upon the beaches of the earth Next flowing wave will wash away; a mark That something passed; a shadow on a wall, While looking for the substance, shade departs; A drop from the vast spirit-cloud of God, That rounds upon a stock, a stone, a leaf, A moment, then exhales again to God. —Anna Katherine Green.
