Bayard Taylor
The native Jewish families in Jerusalem, as well as those in other parts of Palestine, present a marked difference to the Jews of Europe and America.

Bayard Taylor

Bayard Taylor
And the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdens, Are singing the selfsame strain.
Bayard Taylor
It is an agreeable and yet a painful sense of novelty to stand for the first time in the midst of a people whose language and manners are different from one's own.
Bayard Taylor
An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so long wandered.
Bayard Taylor
Swelling in anger or sparkling in glee.
Bayard Taylor
Departed suns their trails of splendor drew Across departed summers: whispers came From voices, long ago resolved again Into the primeval Silence, and we twain, Ghosts of our present selves, yet still the same, As in a spectral mirror wandered there.
Bayard Taylor
But still I dream that somewhere there must be The spirit of a child that waits for me.
Bayard Taylor
Although Damascus is considered the oldest city in the world, the date of its foundation going beyond tradition, there are very few relics of antiquity in or near it.
Bayard Taylor
Eccentricity is developed monomania.
Bayard Taylor
The bravest are the most tender the loving are the daring.
