Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith

Oliver Goldsmith
The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door The chest, contriv'd a double debt to pay,- A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.
Oliver Goldsmith
Eternal blessings crown my earliest friend, And round his dwelling guardian saints attend.
Oliver Goldsmith
The volume of Nature is the book of knowledge.
Oliver Goldsmith
