Norah M. Holland

  • “Brief sweet laughter and tears, / A tumult of eddying strife, / Drift and the wreckage of years — / Life.”

    • "Episodes," When Half Gods Go: And Other Poems ()

  • “Life has given me of its best — / Laughter and weeping, labor and rest, / Little of gold, but lots of fun; / Shall I then sigh that all is done? / No, not I; while the new road lies / All untrodden, before my eyes.”
