Quotes
- “And, though circuitous and obscure,The feet of Nemesis how sure!”
- “April, April,Laugh thy girlish laughter;Then, the moment after,Weep thy girlish tears!”
- “The Poet gathers fruit from every tree,Yea, grapes from thorns and figs from thistles he.Pluck'd by his hand, the basest weed that growsTowers to a lily, reddens to a rose.”
- “Man looks at his own bliss, considers it,Weighs it with curious fingers; and 'tis gone.”
- “God, by the earlier sceptic, was exiled;The later is more lenient grown and mild:He sanctions God, provided you agreeTo any other name for deity.”
- “Flower-fondled, clasp'd in ivy's close caress,It seems with Nature, yet apart.”
