Quotes
- “Youth calls for Pleasure, Pleasure calls for Love.”
- “Seeks painted trifles and fantastic toys,And eagerly pursues imaginary joys.”
- “O'er yonder eastern hill the twilight paleWalks forth from darkness; and the God of day,With bright Astraea seated by his side,Waits yet to leave the ocean.”
- “The man forget not, though in rags he lies,And know the mortal through a crown's disguise.”
- “Can art, alas! or genius guide the headWhere truth and freedom from the heart are fled?Can lesser wheels repeat their native stroke,When the prime function of the soul is broke?”
- “Pall on her temper, like a twice-told tale.”
