4 quotes

His early dreams of good outstripp'd the truth,
And troubled manhood follow'd baffled youth.

And both were young, and one was beautiful.

The Dream (1816)

Ah! happy years! once more who would not be a boy!

Her years
Were ripe, they might make six-and-twenty springs;
But there are forms which Time to touch forbears,
And turns aside his scythe to vulgar things.
