James Russell Lowell

James Russell Lowell
Nature, they say, doth dote, And cannot make a man Save on some worn-out plan, Repeating us by rote.
James Russell Lowell
The pine is the mother of legends.
James Russell Lowell
All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
James Russell Lowell
All thoughts that mold the age begin deep down within the primitive soul.
James Russell Lowell
Love lives on, and hath a power to bless when they who loved are hidden in the grave.
James Russell Lowell
Making one object, in outward or inward nature, more holy to a single heart is reward enough for a life for the more sympathies we gain or awaken for what is beautiful, by so much deeper will be our sympathy for that which is most beautiful,--the human soul!
