Additional quotes by James Thomson

Their only labour was to kill the time;
And labour dire it is, and weary woe,
They sit, they loll, turn o'er some idle rhyme,
Then, rising sudden, to the glass they go,
Or saunter forth, with tottering steps and slow.

Sighed and looked unutterable things.

From seeming evil still educing good.

And Mecca saddens at the long delay. - James Thomson
