"Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,……" — Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!"

— Oliver Wendell Holmes
