Quotes
- “Then, without toil, by vale and mountain side,Men found their few and simple wants supplied;Plenty, like dew, dropped subtle from the air,And Earth's fair gifts rose prodigal as prayer.Love, with no charms except its own to lure,Was swiftly answered by a love as pure.No need for wealth; each glittering fruit and flower,Each star, each streamlet, made the maiden's dower.”
- “Lo, where huge London, huger day by day,O'er six fair counties spreads its hideous sway.”
- “And Clara dies that Claribel may dance.”
- “Let your houseBe spacious more than splendid, and be booksAnd busts your most conspicuous furniture.”
- “Friendship cravesThe commerce of the mind, not the exchangeOf emulous feasts that foster sycophants.”
- “Know, Nature, like the cuckoo, laughs at law,Placing her eggs in whatso nest she will.”
