Additional quotes by John Keble

Sweet is the smile of home; the mutual look
When hearts are of each other sure;
Sweet all the joys that crowd the household nook,
The haunt of all affections pure.

Sprinkled along the waste of years
Full many a soft green isle appears:
Pause where we may along the desert road,
Some shelter is in sight, some sacred safe abode.

As fire is kindled by fire, so is a poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet.

The trivial round, the common task, Would furnish all we ought to ask. - John Keble
