Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

"Come back! come back!" he cried in grief
"Across this stormy water;
And I'll forgive your Highland chief,
My daughter! O my daughter!"

But sad as angels for the good man's sin,
Weep to record, and blush to give it in.

A stoic of the woods—a man without a tear.

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