Robert Southey
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.
Robert Southey
It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment.
Robert Southey
A wise judge, by the craft of the law, was never seduced from its purpose.
Robert Southey
Three things a wise man will not trust, The wind, the sunshine of an April day, And woman's plighted faith.
Robert Southey
Cold is thy hopeless heart, even as charity.
Robert Southey
What will not woman, gentle woman dare when strong affection stirs her spirit up?
