 Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn. |
| Full many a gem of purest ray serene / The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear: / Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, / And waste its sweetness on the desert air. |
| Dear as the light that visits these sad eyes; / Dear as the ruddy drops that warm my heart. |
| Beyond the limits of a vulgar fate, / Beneath the good how far - but far above the great. |
| Th' applause of listening senates to command, / The threats of pain and ruin to despise,/ To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, / And read their history in a nation's eyes. |
| He gave to misery (all he had) a tear. |
| There sit the sainted sage, the bard divine, / The few, whom genius gave to shine / Through every unborn age, and undiscovered clime. |
| The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Awaits alike th' inevitable hour, The paths of glory lead but to the grave |
| What female heart can gold despise? / What cat's averse to fish? |
| The language of the age is never the language of poetry, except among the French, whose verse, where the thought or image does not support it, differs in nothing from prose. |
| Visions of glory, spare my aching sight, / Ye unborn ages, crowd not on my soul! |
| If the best man's faults were written on his forehead, he would draw his hat over his eyes. |
| The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, / The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, / The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, / And leaves the world to darkness and to me. |
