What monster have we here? A great Deed at this hour of day? A great just deed - and not for pay? Absurd - or insincere?
Elizabeth Barrett BrowningThe least flower, with brimming cup, may stand and share its dew drop with another near.
Elizabeth Barrett BrowningWe all have known good critics, who have stamped out poet's hopes; Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state; Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause; Good kings, who disemboweled for a tax; Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy; Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs; And damned the general world for standing up. Now, may the good God pardon all good men!
