Samuel Rogers
By many a temple half as old as Time.
Samuel Rogers
Women have the understanding of the heart, which is better than that of the head.
Samuel Rogers
It doesn't much signify whom one marries, for one is sure to find next morning that it was someone else.

Those that he loved so long and sees no more, Loved and still loves,-not dead, but gone before,- He gathers round him.
Samuel Rogers
