" "
Triumphal arch, that fill'st the sky
When storms prepare to part,
I ask not proud Philosophy
To teach me what thou art. — Still seem, as to my childhood's sight, A midway station given, For happy spirits to alight, Betwixt the earth and heaven.

Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

Shall victor exult, or in death be laid low,

And the stormy winds do blow.
