Additional quotes by Robert Southey

Passion is the drunkenness of the mind.

Wild dreams! but such
As Plato lov'd; such as with holy zeal
Our Milton worshipp'd. Blessed hopes! awhile
From man with-held, even to the latter days
When Christ shall come, and all things be fulfill'd.

[T]here never was any heart truly great and generous' that was not also tender and compassionate.
