Each cloud-capt mountain is a holy altar;
An organ breathes in every grove;
And the full heart 's a Psalter,
Rich in deep hymn of gratitude and love.

— Thomas Hood

More quotes by Thomas Hood

A man that's fond precociously of stirring,
Must be a spoon.

Morning Meditations (1839)

But evil is wrought by want of thought,
As well as want of heart.

There's a double beauty whenever a swan
Swims on a lake with her double thereon.

Another tumble! That's his precious nose!

Oh would I were dead now,
Or up in my bed now,
To cover my head now,
And have a good cry!

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
