Letter "W" » William Cullen Bryant Quotes
«Eloquence is the poetry of prose.»
Author: William Cullen Bryant
(Writer)
«These are the gardens of the Desert, theseThe unshorn fields, boundless and beautiful,For which the speech of England has no name --The Prairies.»
Author: William Cullen Bryant
(Writer)
«Difficulty, my brethren, is the nurse of greatness -- a harsh nurse, who roughly rocks her foster-children into strength and athletic proportion. The mind grappling with great aims and wrestling with mighty ingredients, grows, by certain necessity, to their stature. Scarce anything so convinces me of the capacity of the human intellect for indefinite expansion in the different stages of its being, as this power of enlarging itself to the compass of surrounding emergencies.»
Author: William Cullen Bryant
(Writer)
«Thou dost knowThe faults to which the young are ever prone;The will is quick to act, the judgment weak.»
Author: William Cullen Bryant
(Writer)
«And look at the broad-faced sun, how he smilesOn the dewy earth that smiles in his ray,On the leaping waters and gay young isles;Ay, look, and he'll smile thy gloom away.»
Author: William Cullen Bryant
(Writer)
«Ay, thou art welcome, heaven's delicious breath!When woods begin to wear the crimson leaf,And suns grow meek, and the meek suns grow brief,And the year smiles as it draws near its death.»
Author: William Cullen Bryant
(Writer)
«The visions of my youth are pastToo bright, too beautiful to last.»
Author: William Cullen Bryant
(Writer)
«How fast the flitting figures come!The mild, the fierce, the stony face;Some bright with thoughtless smiles, and someWhere secret tears have left their trace.»
«Thy early smile has stayed my walk;But midst the gorgeous blooms of May,I passed thee on thy humble stalk.»
«Childhood, with all its mirth,Youth, Manhood, Age that draws us to the ground,And last, Man's Life on earth,Glide to thy dim dominions, and are bound.»
