Dinah Maria Murlock Craik Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: April 26, 1826 - October 12, 1887
Birthday: April 26
Death: October 12
The irrevocable Hand That opes the year's fair gate, doth ope and shut The portals of our earthly destinies; We walk through blindfold, and the noiseless doors Close after us, for ever. Pause, my soul, On these strange words - for ever - whose large sound Breaks flood-like, drowning all the petty noise Our human moans make on the shores of Time. O Thou that openest, and no man shuts; That shut'st, and no man opens - Thee we wait!
