Lull’d in the countless chambers of the brain,
Our thoughts are link’d by many a hidden chain;
Awake but one, and lo, what myriads rise!
Each stamps its image as the other flies!

— Samuel Rogers Attributed Forty Thousand Quotations (1917)

Oh ! She was good as she was fair,
None—none on earth above her!
As pure in thought as angels are:
To know her was to love her.

Jacqueline (1814)

To vanish in the chinks that Time has made.

The good are better made by ill,
As odours crushed are sweeter still.

Jacqueline (1814)

Hence, to the realms of Night, dire Demon, hence!
Thy chain of adamant can bind
That little world, the human mind,
And sink its noblest powers to impotence.

Ode to Superstition (1786)

Fireside happiness, to hours of ease
Blest with that charm, the certainty to please.
