In patient, deep disdain.
She let the legions thunder past,
And plunged in thought again.More Matthew Arnold quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Now the great winds shoreward blow Now the salt tides seaward flow Now the wild white horses play Champ and chafe and toss in the spray.More Matthew Arnold quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Man errs not that he deems His welfare his true aim, He errs because he dreams The world does but exist that welfare to bestow.More Matthew Arnold quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Culture looks beyond machinery, culture hates hatred; culture has one great passion--the passion for sweetness and light. It has one even yet greater, the passion for making them all prevail. It is not satisfied till we all come to a perfect man; it knows that the sweetness and light of the few must be imperfect until the raw and unkindly masses of humanity are touched with sweetness and light.More Matthew Arnold quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

And we forget because we must and not because we will.More Matthew Arnold quotes [11/14/2011 11:11:45]
