Quotes

  • Time, you old gipsy man,Will you not stay,Put up your caravanJust for one day?
  • 'Twould ring the bells of HeavenThe wildest peal for years,If Parson lost his sensesAnd people came to theirs,And he and they togetherKnelt down with angry prayersFor tamed and shabby tigersAnd dancing dogs and bears,And wretched, blind, pit ponies,And little hunted hares.
  • Reason has moons, but moons not hersLie mirror'd on her sea,Confounding her astronomers,But, O! delighting me.
  • I saw with open eyes, Singing birds sweet, Sold in the shops, For the people to eat, Sold in the shops of, Stupidity Street.
  • God loves an idle rainbow, Not less than labouring seas.
  • Hodgson, a man of steadfast integrity and strong personality, possessed true distinction.
