Quotes

“With living colours give my verse to glow:The sad memorial of a tale of woe!”
“Thou living ray of intellectual fire.”
“High in his chariot glow'd the lamp of day.”
“The sacred lamp of dayNow dipt in western clouds his parting ray.”
“Again she plunges! hark! a second shockBilges the splitting vessel on the rock;Down on the vale of death, with dismal cries,The fated victims shuddering cast their eyesIn wild despair; while yet another strokeWith strong convulsion rends the solid oak:Ah Heaven!—behold her crashing ribs divide!She loosens, parts, and spreads in ruin o'er the tide.”
