Additional quotes by John Greenleaf Whittier

Sweeter than any sung
My songs that found no tongue;
Nobler than any fact
My wish that failed of act. Others shall sing the song,
Others shall right the wrong,—
Finish what I begin,
And all I fail of win.

Tradition wears a snowy beard, romance is always young.

To eat the lotus of the Nile
And drink the poppies of Cathay.
