Additional quotes by Thomas Gray

Glance their many-twinkling feet.

Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learned to stray;
Along the cool sequestered vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.

For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care: No children run to lisp their sire's return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share.

Still as they run they look behind, They hear a voice in every wind, And snatch a fearful joy. - Thomas Gray
