Additional quotes by Helen Hunt Jackson

On the king’s gate the moss grew gray;
The king came not. They called him dead;
And made his eldest son one day
Slave in his father’s stead.

The voice of one who goes before to make
The paths of June more beautiful, is thine
Sweet May!

Father, I scarcely dare to pray,
So clear I see, now it is done,
That I have wasted half my day,
And left my work but just begun.

Bee to the blossom, moth to the flame; Each to his passion; what's in a name? - Helen Hunt Jackson
