Additional quotes by James Russell Lowell

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

Fate loves the fearless.

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.

There is nothing so desperately monotonous as the sea, and I no longer wonder at the cruelty of pirates. - James Russell Lowell
