Letter "T" » Thomas Gray Quotes
«Beyond the limits of a vulgar fate, / Beneath the good how far - but far above the great.»
«Th' applause of listening senates to command, / The threats of pain and ruin to despise,/ To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, / And read their history in a nation's eyes.»
«The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, / The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, / The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, / And leaves the world to darkness and to me.»
«Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learned to stray; Along the cool, sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way»
Author: Thomas Gray
(Poet)

Author: Thomas Gray
