The battle and the breeze!

Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

There came to the beach a poor exile of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe was heavy and chill;
For his country he sigh'd, when at twilight repairing
To wander alone by the wind-beaten hill.

Thus, while Elijah's burning wheels prepare, From Carmel's height, to sweep the fields of air, The prophet's mantle, ere his flight began, Dropt on the world — a sacred gift to man.

Without the smile from partial beauty won,
Oh what were man? — a world without a sun.

Ye mariners of England, That guard our native seas; Whose flag has braved, a thousand years, The battle and the breeze! - Thomas Campbell
