A sudden splendour seemed to kindle day
A breeze came breathing in a sweet perfume
Blown from eternal gardens, filled the room.

More quotes by Thomas Parnell

Let those love now who never loved before;
Let those who always loved, now love the more.

Let those love now who never lov'd before,
Let those who always loved now love the more.

Still an angel appear to each lover beside,
But still be a woman to you.

Let time that makes you homely, make you sage.

Remote from man, with God he passed the days;
Prayer all his business, all his pleasure praise.
