My days among the dead are passed Around me I behold, Where'er these casual eyes are cast, The mighty minds of old My never-failing friends are they, With whom I converse day by day.

More quotes by Robert Southey
Kitten is in the animal world what the rosebud is in the garden the one the most beautiful of all young creatures, the other the loveliest of all opening flowers.
Robert Southey
What will not woman, gentle woman dare when strong affection stirs her spirit up?
Robert Southey
In the days of my youth I remembered my God! And He hath not forgotten my age.
Robert Southey
For a young and presumptuous poet a disposition to write satires is one of the most dangerous he can encourage. It tempts him to personalities, which are not always forgiven after he has repented and become ashamed of them.
Robert Southey
Whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that is sin to you, however, innocent it may be in itself.
Robert Southey
There was a time when I believed in the persuadability of man, and had the mania of man-mending. Experience has taught me better. The ablest physician can do little in the great lazar-house of society. He acts the wisest part who retires from the contagion.
Robert Southey
From his brimstone bed, at break of day, A-walking the Devil is gone, To look at his little snug farm of the World, And see how his stock went on.
Robert Southey
Give me a room whose every nook is dedicated to a book.
Robert Southey
A wise judge, by the craft of the law, was never seduced from its purpose.
Robert Southey
Ye who dwell at home, Ye do not know the terrors of the main.
Robert Southey
Live as long as you may, the first twenty years are the longest half of your life.
Robert Southey
Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth From heaven it came, to heaven returneth.
Robert Southey
I can remember, with unsteady feet, Tottering from room to room, and finding pleasure In flowers, and toys, and sweetmeats, things which long Have lost their power to please which when I see them, Raise only now a melancholy wish I were the little trifler once again, Who could be pleas'd so lightly.
Robert Southey
And when my own Mark Antony Against young Caesar strove, And Rome's whole world was set in arms, The cause was,--all for love.
Robert Southey
There is another world for all that live and move-a better one!
Robert Southey
Little, indeed, does it concern us in this our mortal stage, to inquire whence the spirit hath come but of what infinite concern is the consideration whither it is going. Surely such consideration demands the study of a life.
Robert Southey
A stubborn mind conduces as little to wisdom or even to knowledge, as a stubborn temper to happiness
Robert Southey
It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment.
Robert Southey
A man may be cheerful and contented in celibacy, but I do not think he can ever be happy it is an unnatural state, and the best feelings of his nature are never called into action.
Robert Southey
One fault begets another one crime renders another necessary.
