Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or owen:
“How like a prodigal doth nature seem,
When thou, for all thy gold, so common art!
Thou teachest me to deem
More sacredly of every human heart,
Since each reflects in joy its scanty gleam
Of Heaven, and could some wondrous secret show,
Did we but pay the love we owe,
And with a child’s undoubting wisdom look
On all these living pages of God’s book.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“A mead
Bordered about with warbling water brooks.
A maid
Laughing the love-laugh with me; proud of looks.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
