Additional quotes by John Campbell Shairp

From old foundations where the nation rears
Her darlings, came that flower of England's youth
And here in latest teens, or riper years,
Stood drinking in all nobleness and truth.

Hidden from others do we know ourselves?
Albeit the surface takes the common light;
Who hath not felt that this our being shelves
Down to abysses, dark and infinite?

Beauty comes, we scarce know how, as an emanation from sources deeper than itself.

The ground of all religion, that which makes it possible, is the relation in which the human soul stands to God. - John Campbell Shairp
