More quotes by John Addington Symonds

Gods fade; but God abides and in man’s heart
Speaks with the clear unconquerable cry
Of energies and hopes that can not die.

These things shall be! A loftier race
Than e'er the world hath known, shall rise
With flame of freedom in their souls,
And light of science in their eyes.

O heaven-blue eyes, blonde tresses where the breeze
Plays over sunburned cheeks in sea-blown air!

O dark brown eyes! O tangles of dark hair!

She smiled, and the shadows departed;
She shone, and the snows were rain;
And he who was frozen-hearted
Bloomed up into love again.
