George Crabbe
Image
Shall he who soars, inspired by loftier views, Life's little cares and little pains refuse? Shall he not rather feel a double share Of mortal woe, when doubly arm'd to bear?
George Crabbe
Image
Our farmers round, well pleased with constant gain, like other farmers, flourish and complain.
George Crabbe
Image

With awe, around these silent walks I tread These are the lasting mansions of the dead.
George Crabbe
Image
Oh, rather give me commentators plain, Who with no deep researches vex the brain Who from the dark and doubtful love to run, And hold their glimmering tapers to the sun.
George Crabbe
Image
