Additional quotes by Matthew Arnold

Choose equality.

Who prop, thou ask'st in these bad days, my mind?' He much, the old man, who, clearest-souled of men, Saw The Wide Prospect, and the Asian Fen, And Tmolus hill, and Smyrna bay, though blind.

And each day brings it's pretty dust,
Our soon-choked souls to fll
And we forget because we must,
And not because we will.
