Additional quotes by Thomas Gray

No further seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode There they alike in trembling hope repose), The bosom of his Father and his God.

Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tow'r The moping owl does to the moon complain.

Hands, that the rod of empire might have swayed, Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre.

Each in his narrow cell forever laid, The rude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep. - Thomas Gray
