Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

They came three thousand miles, and died,
To keep the Past upon its throne;
Unheard, beyond the ocean tide,
Their English mother made her moan.

To say why gals acts so or so,
Or don't, 'ould be persumin';
Mebby to mean yes an' say no
Comes nateral to women.

Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.

Be noble! and the nobleness that lies In other men, sleeping but never dead, Will rise in majesty to meet thine own. - James Russell Lowell
