Ellen Russell Emerson

Quotes

• “But "God was still behind the skies,"   As stricken Agatha once had said,And He anoints the aiming spear   Of grief, and blesses the bowing head.”
• “Here and there a cloud is floating,  White and fair as a nun in prayer.”
• “The loveless are the unblest,    Frosts transfix their grief,    Like a wreck on a reef.”
• “Childhood's the soul's first gala-day.”
• “While the butter-cups toss golden heads,  Consequential bees alight,Upon the downy saffron beds    Of the dandelion,    Fit for kings to lie on;There, a lazy butterfly,  Like a thing adrift from Eden,While saucy insects flutter by    In a busy throng,    Slowly sails along.”
