Additional quotes by James Thomson

The best of men have ever loved repose: They hate to mingle in the filthy fray;
Where the soul sours, and gradual rancour grows, Imbitter'd more from peevish day to day.

Who stemm'd the torrent of a downward age.

A bard here dwelt, more fat than bard becomes Who void of envy, guile and lust of gain,
On virtue still and nature's pleasing themes Poured forth his unpremeditated strain.

But who can paint Like Nature? Can imagination boast, Amid its gay creation, hues like hers? - James Thomson
