Elizabeth Barrett Browning<\/a><\/p>\nWe cannot live, except thus mutually<\/p>\n
We alternate, aware or unaware,<\/p>\n
The reflex act of life: and when we bear<\/p>\n
Our virtue onward most impulsively,<\/p>\n
Most full of invocation, and to be<\/p>\n
Most instantly compellant, certes, there<\/p>\n
We live most life, whoever breathes most air<\/p>\n
And counts his dying years by sun and sea.<\/p>\n
But when a soul, by choice and conscience, doth<\/p>\n
Throw out her full force on another soul,<\/p>\n
The conscience and the concentration both make<\/p>\n
mere life, Love. For Life in perfect whole<\/p>\n
And aim consummated, is Love in sooth,<\/p>\n
As nature’s magnet-heat rounds pole with pole.<\/p>\n

Much love to our students. As always, we asked for the best and got better. (Even though the other team won.) Thank you.<\/p>\n
Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
