Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

Absence! is not the soul torn by it From more than light, or life, or breath? 'Tis Lethe's gloom, but not its quiet,— The pain without the peace of death!

There shall he love when genial morn appears,
Like pensive Beauty smiling in her tears.

Oh, how hard it is to find
The one just suited to our mind!

There was silence deep as death, And the boldest held his breath, For a time. - Thomas Campbell
