Additional quotes by Anna Laetitia Barbauld

Man is the nobler growth our realms supply,
And souls are ripen'd in our northern sky.

It is, in truth, the most absurd of all suppositions, that a human being can be educated, or even nourished and brought up, without imbibing numberless prejudices from every thing which passes around him.

So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shore.

So when destruction lurks unseen, Which men like mice may share, May some kind angel clear thy path, And break the hidden snare. - Anna Laetitia Barbauld
