Quote #4
I wandered by the brookside, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still.
More from Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton Houghton
- A man's best things are nearest him, Lie close about his feet.
- The beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard.
- Great thoughts, great feelings came to them, Like instincts, unawares.
- 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.
- But on and up, where Nature's heart Beats strong amid the hills.
- Oh glory, that we wrestle So valiantly with Time!
- Heaven was not Heaven if Phaon was not there.
- A poet's Mistress is a hallowed thing.
