Robert Montgomery Quotes

English poet (1807–1855)

Robert Montgomery (1807–1855) was an English poet. In 1828 he published The Omni-presence of the Deity, which hit popular religious sentiment so exactly that it ran through eight editions in as many months. In 1830 he followed it with The Puffiad (a satire), and Satan, or Intellect without God. His name was immortalized by Macaulay's famous onslaught in the Edinburgh Review for April 1830.

The solitary monk who shook the world
From pagan slumber, when the gospel trump
Thundered its challenge from his dauntless lips
In peals of truth.

Ye quenchless stars! so eloquently bright,
Untroubled sentries of the shadowy night.

The soul aspiring pants its source to mount,
As streams meander level with their fount.

And thou, vast ocean! on whose awful face
Time’s iron feet can print no ruin-trace.
