Additional quotes by Alexander Smith

Some books are drenchèd sands
On which a great soul’s wealth lies all in heaps,
Like a wrecked argosy.

The soul of man is like the rolling world,
One half in day, the other dipt in night;
The one has music and the flying cloud,
The other, silence and the wakeful stars.

The man who in this world can keep the whiteness of his soul is not likely to lose it in any other.
