Additional quotes by Richard Henry Stoddard

We love in others what we lack ourselves,
And would be every thing but what we are.

Pale in her fading bowers the Summer stands,
Like a new Niobe with claspèd hands,
Silent above the flowers, her children lost,
Slain by the arrows of the early frost.

Heaven is not gone, but we are blind with tears,
Groping our way along the downward slope of Years!

It beckons, I follow. Good by to the light! I am going, oh! whither? Out into the night! - Richard Henry Stoddard
