Quotation
• But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which
slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn
cover !
A savage place ! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was
haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover !
• Nolueram, Belinda, tuos violare capillos;
sed juvat hoc precibus me tribuisse tuis.
Quotation
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
• The body relaxed, and instantly grew stiff. The
struggle was over. The insignificant little creature
now knew death. As I looked at the dead
######, this minute wayside triumph of so great
a force over so mean an antagonist filled me
with wonder. Just as life had been strange a few
minutes before, so death was now as strange.
The ###### having righted himself now lay most
decently and uncomplainingly composed. O yes,
he seemed to say, death is stronger than I am
1. He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child;
I am a child thou a lamb,
We are called by his name
Quotation
. . . . How everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the diaster; the plowman
may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure;
quotation
• What if the foot, ordained the dust to
tread,/ Or hand, to toil, aspired to be the
head?/ What if the head, the eye, or ear
repined/ To serve mere engines to the
ruling Mind?
quotation
• The spider’s touch, how exquisitely fine!/
Feels at each thread, and lives along the
line:/ In the nice bee, what sense so subtly
true/ From poisonous herbs extracts the
healing dew.
quotation
•
“Infant's flesh will be in season
throughout the year, but more plentiful in
March, and a little before and after; for
we are told by a grave author, an eminent
French physician, that fish being a prolific
diet, there are more children born in
Roman Catholic countries about nine
months after Lent than at any other
season. . .”
Milton1 thou should’st be living at this hour;
England hath need of thee; she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness
Quotation
After suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters; how well they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window
or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately
waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen . .
..
quotation
• Heaven from all creatures hides the book
of Fate, / All but the page prescribed, their
present state?”
quotation
•
I have been assured by a very knowing
American of my acquaintance in London,
that a young healthy child well nursed is
at a year old a most delicious, nourishing,
and wholesome food, whether stewed,
roasted, baked, or boiled:and I make no
doubt that it will equally serve in a
fricassee or a ragout.
quotation
•
The number of souls in this kingdom being
usually reckoned one million and a half, of
these I calculate there may be about two
hundred thousand couple whose wives are
breeders; from which number I subtract thirty
thousand couples who are able to maintain
their own children, although I apprehend there
cannot be so many under the present
distresses of the kingdom; but this being
granted, there will remain an hundred and
seventy thousand breeders
• Nolueram, Belinda, tuos violare capillos;
sed juvat hoc precibus me tribuisse tuis.
Quotation
Tin, boxes, bottles, shapes too vague to know
A mirror smashed, the mattress from a bed;
And he, exploring fifty feet below
The rosy gloom of battle overhead.
Tripping, he grabbed the wall; saw someone lie
Humped at his feet, half-hidden by a rug,
And stooped to give the sleeper’s arm a tug.
But most thro’ midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlot’s curse
Blasts the new-born Infant’s tear,
And blights with plagues the Marriage
hearse.
• Then naked & white, all their bags left
behind,
They rise upon clouds and sport in the
wind;
And the Angel told Tom, if he'd be a good
boy,
He'd have God for his father & never want
joy.
quotation
• Vast Chain of Being! which from God
began,/ Natures ethereal, human, angel,
man,/ Beast, bird, fish, insect, what no eye
can see,/ No glass can reach!
• A former tenant of our house, a priest, had
died in the b ack drawing-room. Air, musty
from having been long enclosed, hung in
all the rooms, and the waste room behind
the kitchen was littered with old useless
papers. Among these I found a few papercovered books, the pages of which were
curled and damp: The Abbot, by Walter
Scott, The Devout Communicant and The
Memoirs of Vidocq.
. Adieu! Adieu! Thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows, over the still
stream,
Up the hill-side; and now ‘tis buried
deep
In the next valley-glades;
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music: - Do I wake or
sleep?

An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,
Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of ##########
He worked in a factory and never got fired,
But satisfied his emploers, Fudge Motors Inc.
Yet he wasn’t a scab or odd in his views,
For his Union reports that he paid his dues,
(Our report on his Union shows it was sound)
And our Social Psychology workers found
That he was popular with his mates and liked a
drink.
. Gas! GAS! Quick boys! – An exctasy of
fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and
stumbling
And floud’ring like a man in fire or lime . . .
Dim, through the misty planes and thick
green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning
quotation
• The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed today,/
Had he thy reason, would he skip and
play?/ Please to the last, he crops the
flowery food,/ And licks the hand just
raised to shed his blood.
quotation
•
“But of this frame the bearings, and the
ties, / The strong connections, nice
dependencies, / Gradations just, has thy
pervading soul / Looked through? or can
a part contain the whole?”
This is now
Our doom; which if we can sustain and bear,
Our Supreme Foe in time may much remit
His anger, and perhaps thus far removed
Not mind us not offending, satisfied
With what is punished
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear, their dwelling-place.
My name is #########, King of Kings,
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and care
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Farewell, farewell! But this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest!
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast
• Five years have pastl five summers; with
the length
• Of five long winters! And again I hear
• These waters, rolling from their mountainsprings
• With a soft inland murmur.
