Richard Hovey quotes:
-
Ye who made war that your ships Should lay to at the beck of no nation, Make war now on Murder, that slips The leash of her hounds of damnation; Ye who remembered the Alamo, Remember the Maine!
-
East, to the dawn, or west or south or north! Loose rein upon the neck of-and forth!
-
Fair weather weddings make fair weather lives.
-
The East and the West in the spring of the world shall blend / As a man and a woman that plight / Their troth in the warm spring night.
-
For 't is always fair weather When good fellows get together With a stein on the table and a good song ringing clear.
-
And you prate of the wealth of nations, as if it were bought and sold, The wealth of nations is men, not silk and cotton and gold.
-
I have need of the sky, I have business with the grass; I will up and get me away where the hawk is wheeling Lone and high, And the slow clouds go by. I will get me away to the waters that glass The clouds as they pass. I will get me away to the woods.
-
EXPRESSIONS Look without! Behold the beauty of the day, The shout of color to glad color, rocks and trees, and sun and seas, and wind and sky: All these are God's expression, art work of His hand, which men must love ere they can understand.
-
How loving is the Lord God and how strong withal!
-
Our cheer goes back to them, the valiant dead! Laurels and roses on their graves to-day, lilies and laurels over them we lay, and violets o'er each unforgotten head.
-
Spring in the world! And all things are made new!
-
Who would not rather flounder in the fight than not have known the glory of the fray?
-
I am fevered with the sunset, I am fretful with the bay, For the wander-thirst is on me And my soul is in Cathay.
-
I am sick of four walls and a ceiling I have need of the sky, I have business with the grass.
-
I do not know beneath what sky nor on what seas shall be thy fate; I only know it shall be high, I only know it shall be great.
-
Love seeks a guerdon; friendship is as God,Who gives and asks no payment.
-
Nor love they least Who strike with right good will To vanquish ill And fight God's battle upward from the beast.
-
The great white cold walks abroad!
-
There is no sorrow like a love denied. Nor any joy like love that has its will.
