1778–1830 England

← All quotes by William Hazlitt

3 quotes

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.

Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.

Lectures on the English Poets (1818)

He who would see old Hoghton right
Must view it by the pale moonlight.
