“Aspirations of Youth. / Higher, higher will we climb / Up the mount of glory, / That our names may live through time / In our country's story … Minds are of supernal birth, / Let us make a heaven of earth. … Close and closer then we knit / Hearts and hands together … Nearer, nearer bands of love / Draw our souls in union, / To our Father's house above, / To the saints' communion.”
This page brings together documented engagements currently identified within the Fuller Reading Worlds catalog.
Selected passages from Fuller’s own writings, in chronological order.
“Night is the time for rest / How sweet, when labors close, / To gather round an aching breast / The curtain of repose … Night is the time for care; / Brooding on hours mispent … Like Brutus, midst his slumbering host / Summoned to die by Caesar's ghost!”
