Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

Truth forever on the scaffold. Wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future. Behind the dim unknown stands God, Within the shadow keeping watch above his own.

It's 'most enough to make a deacon swear.

The Maple puts her corals on in May,
While loitering frosts about the lowlands cling,
To be in tune with what the robins sing.

Ez fer war, I call it murder— There you hev it plain an' flat; I don't want to go no furder Than my Testyment fer that. - James Russell Lowell
