More from Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton Houghton

  1. Great thoughts, great feelings came to them, Like instincts, unawares.
  2. I wandered by the brookside, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still.
  3. But on and up, where Nature's heart Beats strong amid the hills.
  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.
