Quotes

“Ye fetted pinnacles, ye fanes sublime,Ye towers that wear the mossy vest of time;Ye massy piles of old munificence,At once the pride of learning and defence;Ye cloisters pale, that, lengthening to the sight,To contemplation, step by step, invite;Ye temples dim, where pious duty paysHer holy hymns of everlasting praise -Hail ! Oxford, hail !”
“O! what's a table richly spreadWithout a woman at its head!”
“We are apt to form romantic and exaggerated notions about the moral innocence of our ancestors. Ages of ignorance and simplicity are thought to be ages of purity. The direct contrary, I believe, is the case...In the middle ages, not only the most flagrant violations of modesty were frequently practised and permitted, but the most infamous vices. Men are less ashamed as they are less polished.”
“Nor rough, nor barren, are the winding waysOf hoar antiquity, but strown with flowers.”
“All human race, from China to Peru, Pleasure, howe’er disguis’d by art, pursue.”
