Careful Words

Elysian (?.)

Elysian beauty, melancholy grace,

Brought from a pensive though a happy place.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850): Laodamia.

There is no death! What seems so is transition;

This life of mortal breath

Is but a suburb of the life elysian,

Whose portal we call Death.

Henry W Longfellow (1807-1882): Resignation.
