More from Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton Houghton

  1. 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.
  2. Heaven was not Heaven if Phaon was not there.
  3. The beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard.
  4. A poet's Mistress is a hallowed thing.
  5. I wandered by the brookside, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still.
  6. Mohammed's truth lay in a holy Book, Christ's in a sacred Life.
  7. A man's best things are nearest him, Lie close about his feet.
  8. They who have steeped their souls in prayer Can every anguish calmly bear.
