Additional quotes by Robert Southey

If you would be pungent, be brief ; for it is with words as with sunbeams—the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.

Wild dreams! but such
As Plato lov'd; such as with holy zeal
Our Milton worshipp'd. Blessed hopes! awhile
From man with-held, even to the latter days
When Christ shall come, and all things be fulfill'd.

[W]onder is from surprise; and surprise ceases upon experience.
