Additional quotes by Robert Bridges

For beauty being the best of all we know
Sums up the unsearchable and secret aims
Of nature.

Scatter the clouds that hide
The face of heaven, and show
Where sweet peace doth abide,
Where Truth and Beauty grow.

They gathered up the crystal manna to freeze
Their tongues with tasting, their hands with snowballing;
Or rioted in a drift, plunging up to the knees.

Perfect little body, without fault or stain on thee, With promise of strength and manhood full and fair! - Robert Bridges
