Collins

Famous quotes containing the word collins:

    Though taste, though genius bless
    To some divine excess,
    Faint’s the cold work till thou inspire the whole;
    What each, what all supply,
    May court, may charm our eye,
    Thou, only thou, canst raise the meeting soul!
    —William Collins (1721–1759)

    Each lonely scene shall thee restore;
    For thee the tear be duly shed;
    Beloved till life can charm no more,
    And mourn’d till Pity’s self be dead.
    —William Collins (1721–1759)

    The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home;
    ‘Tis summer, the darkeys are gay;
    The corn-top’s ripe, and the meadow’s in the bloom,
    —Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
