Quotes

  • Mine be a cot beside the hill; A beehive's hum shall soothe my ear;A willowy brook that turns a mill, With many a fall, shall linger near.
  • That very law which moulds a tearAnd bids it trickle from its source,—That law preserves the earth a sphere,And guides the planets in their course.
  • Go! you may call it madness, folly; You shall not chase my gloom away!There's such a charm in melancholy I would not if I could be gay.
  • To vanish in the chinks that Time has made.
  • Ward has no heart, they say, but I deny it:He has a heart, and gets his speeches by it.
  • Hence, to the realms of Night, dire Demon, hence!Thy chain of adamant can bindThat little world, the human mind,And sink its noblest powers to impotence.
