You are too young to fall asleep for ever; And when you sleep you remind me of the dead.

-Sassoon, Siegfried Louvain
  'The Dug-Out'.

Ah God, for a man with heart, head, hand, Like some of the simple great ones gone For ever and ever by, One still strong man in a blatant land, Whatever they call him, what care I, Aristocrat, democrat, autocratöone Who can rule and dare not lie.

-Tennyson
  Maud, pt.1, sect.10, stanza 5, l.389^95.

   For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever.

-Tennyson
  'The Brook', l.33^4.
