Additional quotes by William Cullen Bryant

Ah, why
Should we, in the world's riper years, neglect
God's ancient sanctuaries, and adore
Only among the crowd and under roofs
That our frail hands have raised?

The rugged trees are mingling
Their flowery sprays in love;
The ivy climbs the laurel
To clasp the boughs above.

And the blue gentian flower, that, in the breeze,
Nods lonely, of her beauteous race the last.

The little wind-flower, whose just opened eye Is blue as the spring heaven it gazes at. - William Cullen Bryant
