The education of circumstances is superior to that of tuition.
For youthful faults ripe virtues shall atone.
Like thoughts whose very sweetness yielded proof that they were born for immortality.
Prompt to move but firm to wait - knowing things rashly sought are rarely found.
One that would peep and botanize Upon his mother's grave.
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
