More from Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton Houghton

  1. Great thoughts, great feelings came to them, Like instincts, unawares.
  2. A man's best things are nearest him, Lie close about his feet.
  3. I wandered by the brookside, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still.
  4. The beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard.
  5. The hills of manhood wear a noble face When seen from far; The mist of light from which they take their grace Hides what they are.
  6. Oh glory, that we wrestle So valiantly with Time!
  7. Heaven was not Heaven if Phaon was not there.
  8. A poet's Mistress is a hallowed thing.
