“Adieu, adieu! my native shore / Fades o'er the waters blue.”
Lord Byron
“Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.”
Alexander Pope
“Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action”
William Shakespeare
“The waters wild went o'er his child, / And he was left lamenting.”
Thomas Campbell
“One more, and this the last:So sweet was ne'er so fatal.”
“Did ye not hear it? - No; 'twas but the wind, / Or the car rattling o'er the stony street;/ On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; / No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet / To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.”
“He who doubts from what he seesWill ne'er believe, do what you please.”
William Blake
