Quotes
- “All things that are on earth shall wholly pass away,Except the love of God, which shall live and last for aye.”
- “There is a day of sunny restFor every dark and troubled night;And a grief may bid, and evening guest,Bot joy shall come with early light”
- “Vainly the fowler's eyeMight mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong,As, darkly painted on the crimson sky,Thy figure floats along.”
- “He who, from zone to zone,Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight,In the long way that I must tread alone,Will lead my steps aright.”
- “Thine eyes are springs in whose sereneAnd silent waters heaven is seen;Their lashes are the herbs that lookOn their young figures in the brook.”
- “Here the free spirit of mankind, at length,Throws its last fetters off; and who shall placeA limit to the giant's unchained strength,Or curb his swiftness in the forward race!”

William Cullen Bryant (November 3, 1794 – June 12, 1878) was an American romantic poet, journalist, and long-time editor of the New York Evening Post. Born in Massachusetts, he started his career as a lawyer but showed an interest in poetry early in his life.
In 1825, Bryant relocated to New York City, where he became an editor of two major newspapers. He also emerged as one of the most significant poets in early literary America and has been grouped among the fireside poets for his accessible and popular poetry.
