Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

Sweet Phosphor, bring the day
Whose conquering ray
May chase these fogs; Sweet Phosphor, bring the day! Sweet Phosphor, bring the day!
Light will repay
The wrongs of night;
Sweet Phosphor, bring the day!

No man is born unto himself alone;
Who lives unto himself, he lives to none.

And what's a life? A weary pilgrimage,
Whose glory in one day doth fill the stage
With childhood, manhood, and decrepit age.

The road to resolution lies by doubt: The next way home's the farthest way about. - Francis Quarles
