Quotes

  • And, though circuitous and obscure,The feet of Nemesis how sure!
  • April, April,Laugh thy girlish laughter;Then, the moment after,Weep thy girlish tears!
  • The Poet gathers fruit from every tree,Yea, grapes from thorns and figs from thistles he.Pluck'd by his hand, the basest weed that growsTowers to a lily, reddens to a rose.
  • Man looks at his own bliss, considers it,Weighs it with curious fingers; and 'tis gone.
  • God, by the earlier sceptic, was exiled;The later is more lenient grown and mild:He sanctions God, provided you agreeTo any other name for deity.
  • Flower-fondled, clasp'd in ivy's close caress,It seems with Nature, yet apart.
