What sorrow was, thou bad’st her know, and from her own she learned to melt at others’ woe Picture Quote #1

The insect youth are on the wing, eager to taste the honied spring, and float amid the liquid noon! Picture Quote #1

The verse adorn again fierce war, and faithful love, and truth severe, by fairy fiction drest Picture Quote #1

To contemplation’s sober eye, such is the race of man; and they that creep, and they that fly, shall end where they began, alike the busy and the gay, but flutter through life’s little day Picture Quote #1

For who to dumb forgetfulness a prey, this pleasing anxious being e’er resigned, left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, nor cast one longing ling’ring look behind? Picture Quote #1

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow’r, and all that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave, await alike the inevitable hour: the paths of glory lead but to the grave Picture Quote #1

Let not ambition mock their useful toil, their homely joys, and destiny obscure; nor grandeur hear with a disdainful smile, the short and simple annals of the poor Picture Quote #1
