Additional quotes by Thomas Bailey Aldrich

There's a special Providence that watches over idiots, drunken men, and boys.

What is lovely never dies,
But passes into other loveliness,
Star-dust, or sea-foam, or wingëd air.

Or light or dark, or short or tall,
She sets a springe to snare them all:
All's one to her—above her fan
She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban.
