Additional quotes by Lewis Morris

Sound, jocund strains; on pipe and viol sound,
Young voices sing;
Wreathe every door with snow-white garlands round,
For lo! 'tis Spring!
Winter has passed with its sad funeral train,
And hope revives again.

Sweet maidenhood! that to a silvery chime
Of music, and chaste fancies undefiled,
And modest grace and mild
Comëst, best gift of God to men.

The victories of Right
Are born of strife.
There were no Day were there no Night,
Nor, without dying, Life.

What power was this—chance, will you say? But chance, what else can it mean Than the hidden Cause of things by human reason unseen? - Lewis Morris
