Additional quotes by James Thomson

Come then, expressive silence, muse His praise.

I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?

O fair undress, best dress! it checks no vein,
But every flowing limb in pleasure drowns,
And heightens ease with grace.

There studious let me sit, And hold high converse with the mighty dead. - James Thomson
