James Russell Lowell

James Russell Lowell
They talk about their Pilgrim blood, their birthright high and holy! a mountain-stream that ends in mud thinks is melancholy.
James Russell Lowell
It is the vain endeavor to make ourselves what we are not that has strewn history with so many broken purposes and lives left in the rough.
James Russell Lowell
There is surely room for yet another schoolmaster when a score of seers advertise themselves in Boston newspapers.
James Russell Lowell
Like streams that keep a summer mind Snow-hid in Jenooary.
James Russell Lowell
One learns more metaphysics from a single temptation than from all the philosophers.
James Russell Lowell
You've gut to git up airly Ef you want to take in God.
