Additional quotes by Thomas Gray

One morn I miss'd him on the custom'd hill, Along the heath, and near his fav'rite tree: Another came; nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he.

Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind.

Daughter of Jove, relentless power, Thou tamer of the human breast, Whose iron scourge and tort'ring hour The bad affright, afflict the best!

Dear, as the light that visits these sad eyes; Dear, as the ruddy drops that warm my heart. - Thomas Gray
