3 Matthew Arnold Quotes on Work

Matthew Arnold quotes on work

7. Ennobling this dull pomp, the life of kings, By contemplation of diviner things.

8. We cannot kindle when we will The fire that in the heart resides, The spirit bloweth and is still, In mystery our soul abides; - But tasks, in hours of insight willed, Can be through hours of gloom fulfilled.

11. With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; We bear the burden and the heat Of the long day and wish't were done. Not till the hours of light return All we have built do we discern.
