Additional quotes by Thomas Kibble Hervey

Gayly we glide in the gaze of the world
With streamers afloat and with canvas unfurled,
All gladness and glory to wandering eyes,
Yet chartered by sorrow and freighted with sighs.

The tomb of him who would have made The world too glad and free.

A Hebrew knelt in the dying light, His eye was dim and cold,
The hairs on his brow were silver-white, And his blood was thin and old.

Like ships, that sailed for sunny isles, But never came to shore. - Thomas Kibble Hervey
