Additional quotes by Mark Akenside

Oft the hours
From morn to eve have stolen unmark'd away,
While mute attention hung upon his lips.

O'er yonder eastern hill the twilight pale
Walks forth from darkness; and the God of day,
With bright Astraea seated by his side,
Waits yet to leave the ocean.

Rustic herald of the spring.

Seeks painted trifles and fantastic toys, And eagerly pursues imaginary joys. - Mark Akenside
