...So let us welcome peaceful evening in.
The art of poetry is to touch the passions, and its duty to lead them on the side of virtue.
There is a pleasure in poetic pains / Which only poets know.
Elegant as simplicity, and warm As ecstasy.
Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.
Strange as it may seem, the most ludicrous lines I ever wrote have been written in the saddest mood.
